In the first season of Game of Thrones, Jason Momoa wasn’t the bad guy, but his character, Khal Drogo, was certainly okay with being feared.

A power struggle over who might ascend to the Iron Throne. A brutal, heartbreaking birth scene. A vicious attack by armed watchmen on the so-called ne’er-do-wells of King’s Landing, led by the king’s impetuous, dangerous brother. These are a few of the intrigues that House of the Dragon delivered in its series premiere, the first Game of Thrones prequel to make it on air and one that looked every bit as polished and paced as its predecessor.

Netflix’s Regency-era romance Bridgerton became one of its most-streamed series thanks to creator Chris Van Dusen’s modern, Skittles-hued take on historic upper-crust British mores.

“Nope” Sound Designer Johnnie Burn Puts the Fear in What We Hear
