HBO messed up House of the Dragon again like it did with Game of Thrones in 2019.

Yesterday, a new chapter of the House of the Dragon was released, a prequel to Game of Thrones what HBO Max premiere last month. Series releases chapters every Monday, and this week’s chapter pissed off thousands of people… because it looked too dark.

And everything just got very dark (at the story level) last night at the Dragon House. And it was all done under the cover of darkness, which left many viewers wondering if their TVs were broken.

First of all, don’t panic: your TV is not broken. If not, then he is the victim of episode director Miguel Sapochnik. And, probably, this person can see in the dark, because this is the second time he has filmed an episode of the saga in which nothing is visible.

Back in 2019, Sapochnik directed the infamous Long Night series. a harrowing hour of television in which many characters from Game of Thrones come together to finally put an end to the Night King’s invasion of Westeros.

At that time, Sapochnik insisted that the darkness that reigned on televisions across the country was a feature, not a bug. (time explained to us that the streaming platform is a misunderstanding). And HBO Max this time insists on the same.

Yesterday’s ‘House of the Dragon’ premiere looked so bleak that Twitter is on fire.

What is happening here is very easy to understand. The director does not think about the product that ends up on his phone, TV or tablet.. He thinks about what appeared on the cutting room floor as the episode was being finalized in post-production.

Mounting rooms often include a perfectly calibrated reference OLED monitor. This reference monitor is capable of handling the incredible range of grays and blacks our eyes can see.


The TV in your home may not have the same gray range as your phone or tablet. And even more so with the compressed signal via streaming, which weighs in at about 3/4 Mbps instead of the 30 Mbps raw they work with in production.

The fact is that yesterday’s premiere Dragon House left a lot of complaints, making us forget how good the series is and how much it entertains us.
