I think it has quelled my fears after the lackluster finale to Game of Thrones by preceding with elegant grace in its cinematography, direction, and costume design alongside measured wisdom to its superb writing. House of the Dragon has redeemed George R. R. Martin's rich lore world of A Song of Ice and Fire with a visually beautiful, gory action, ruthless betrayal, tender romance, and shocking political maneuvers in the endless Game of Thrones.
