[HysteriCool]

THIS is how you do a recap. Straight to the point. No filler, no unsolicited opinions. Just the facts. Heres what happened and were done! Thank you!

[Jackielikeskillersmiles]

This makes me realize how much I forgot! Great recap! You deserve an award for this

[amitashar]

Thank you for jumping right into the recap instead of going into a long intro like the first recap I tried to watch!

[anassmouradi]

Am i the only one who didnt remember almost anything from this recap😂?

[chiming_in]

How is it that he mentions Lord Beesbury's death but fails to mention Raenys busting out of the Dragonpit on her dragon?

[bigpoppasmurf]

This recap was great. I had to watch it a few times to keep up with all the names. :D

[martialartist]

Fun fact: While Joffrey was showing Margaery around in the Crypts he proceeds to spoil the end of House of the Dragon.

Here we go! My man delivers just in time! Awesome!

[livialimaastrologia]

Great! Thanks! I didn't remember anything! 😬

1 hour and a half to the second season!!!!

[wesleycopeland]

Great breakdown. Not all over the place like some of the others

[aces]

Great video! Definitely needed to recap after finishing the first season of HOTD. This simplifies it and makes much more sense, thank you!

[Femto]

All memery of s1 has left my brain, this was exactly what i needed b4 starting s2 . Thanks 😊

[evansonhakeem]

This series is way darker, brutal and better than the GOT's 1st season. Dragons are amazing. No words for that. This has a serious potential to be one of the greatest series of all time. I really enjoyed the 1st episode. If you missed this you are so unlucky. Cheers!

[jorgiganteng]

These are the views i believe you deserve every post, genuinely underrated, keep up the awesome recaps ❤

[christopheguillaume]

Great recap - I rewatched the 1st season 3 months ago so this was needed. Good job.

[sayer]

Thanks man, I Needed that because been so long since i watched season 1
and i have watch hundreds of other shows since.

[commy]

Thank you for the recap, I almost forgot the entire season 1 it's being a while...

[MM-huys]

Parallels---Aemon and his blue eye reminiscent of one of the night walkers (kind of looks like one of the older commanders night walkers from GoT), Rhaenys breaking into the cathedral to disrupt the coronation of Aegon very much like Cercei Lanister blowing up the same cathedral 200 years later.
