Why ‘Game of Thrones’ star John Bradley is hesitant to watch ‘House of the Dragon’

29 million viewers who reportedly tuned in on a weekly basis to watch the hit HBO spinoff show, “House of the Dragon.” “I’ve still not watched it. ‘Game of Thrones’ feels like it ended a bit too recently for me to watch, but I’ve seen bits of it,” Bradley told The Post, while recently discussing his new Netflix series, “3 Body Problem.” Bradley also said that he’s been hesitant to watch “House of The Dragon,” because the subject matter is a departure from the original show, which aired from 2011 to 2019. “It feels like a bit of a different show, I have to say. ‘Game of Thrones’ had so many characters in it spanning all across the Seven Kingdoms.

There was much more scope for all of humanity to exist there,” said Bradley. Bradley added, “There were these very broken characters.

There were vulnerable characters. There were characters that had a bit of comedy about them. There were strong characters, and wounded characters, and evil characters.

And ‘House of the Dragon’ feels more focused on one particular area of the narrative, and one particular area of humanity. So, it just feels like there’s slightly less scope to it.”“House of the Dragon,” which aired its first season in 2022 and will premiere Season 2 in June, is set around 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” The story follows a civil war between branches of the Targaryen family, who are Daenerys’s (Emilia Clarke) ancestors.
