At the same time, <em>The Rings of Power<\/em> attracted <a href=\"https:\/\/press.aboutamazon.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/lord-rings-rings-power-attracts-more-25-million-global-viewers\" has-subtag=\"true\" data-cdata='{\"rewritten_url\":\"https:\/\/press.aboutamazon.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/lord-rings-rings-power-attracts-more-25-million-global-viewers?ascsubtag=[]vg[p]23101771[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder\",\"subtag_max_length\":99,\"subtag_delim_length\":2,\"subtag_key\":\"ascsubtag\",\"subtag_data\":{\"ascsubtag\":\"[]vg[p]23101771[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder\"},\"encode_subtag\":false}'>25 million global viewers<\/a> the day it premiered, which also happens to be Amazon Prime\u2019s biggest debut. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"H1TPTF\"><q>10 million people tuned in for the House of the Dragon premiere<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"jk7gbP\">The success of Amazon\u2019s J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation is likely at least partially why HBO is giving everyone a taste of its latest adventure into Westeros, tempting you to sign up for yet another streaming service \u2014 though, there are other reasonable explanations for the freebie besides its, ah, <em>fortunate <\/em>timing. <em>The Game of Thrones <\/em>series finale received catastrophic reviews from critics and audiences alike on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/game_of_thrones\/s08\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, so while 10 million people tuned in for the <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> premiere, it\u2019s understandable that some scorned fans of the franchise might need a little more convincing before jumping back on the George R.R. Martin hype train.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3U4lsC\"><em>House of the Dragon<\/em> is set almost 200 years prior to the events of the <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> series, detailing the downfall of House Targaryen and their rule over the Iron Throne. As expected, there\u2019s an abundance of dragons, family squabbles, and long, flowing wigs for those who are disappointed by the more contemporary hairstyles featured in <em>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3GRCA8\">The watch link is unfortunately region locked and therefore unavailable outside of the US; however, UK fans can also watch the first episode for free thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z7N5R6Z4zP4\">an upload from Sky TV<\/a>. Be wary that, as expected for a <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> spinoff, the series comes with a mature content warning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/5\/23337730\/watch-house-of-the-dragon-free-youtube-now-hbo-max\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/5\/23337730\/watch-house-of-the-dragon-free-youtube-now-hbo-max<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: HBO has made the first episode of its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon available to watch for free on YouTube, a marketing move that amusingly coincides with the release of Amazon Prime\u2019s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Friday last week.
