They were awful, and yet I kept watching...

I'd say that House of the Dragon is less bad actually than the last few seasons of GOT. The dialogue and storylines are better, but there's also more wokeness and perversion inserted.

To be specific, a lot revolves around "women being oppressioned", characters are bizarrely made black, and there's some unnecessary sexual perversion inserted.

As Dag says, there are no characters from GoT, and the 'fanservice' in terms of callbacks is limited.
