House of the Dragon: Season 1 [4K Ultra HD Steelbook] [2022

Prior to the birth of a son, King Viserys sent shockwaves through the kingdom and declared his daughter, Rhaenyra, his heir. This latter point, though, won’t matter one bit to the vast majority of Sky subscribers - especially those now used to using the unique Sky Glass ‘live broadcast streaming’ TV approach - if the reward is a much more pristine way of watching HBO’s latest adventures in Westeros than we got with all eight grubby looking seasons of Game Of Thrones.Most of the video is reference-quality 4k, although there are scenes when low light renders a flat and grainy image (visible also in digital formats). Thankfully it looks like those wanting to watch the latest Targaryen family feud won’t have any such problems this time out.

Further to this, though, we can now make British GOT fans happy with the news that UK subscription broadcaster Sky, which has exclusive first broadcast rights to the show in the UK, has just confirmed that it will be making the show available in both 4K resolution and high dynamic range. This kind of feature gating isn’t exclusive to HBO Max; 4K streaming is available only in the most expensive Netflix plan. This principal cast brings to life the complexities of both the Targaryen dynasty and their own motivations. As the family splits into two factions, each side has their own valid points for what they do, making the line between good and evil murkier and the cast deliver incredibly well on these layered performances.While the streaming service has previously made movies available for streaming in 4K HDR in HEVC compression, the release of the Game of Thrones prequel marks the first time a new TV show has been available on HBO Max with 3D audio and HDR. That would allow the company to broadcast the existing 1080i standard-dynamic-range version of Game of Thrones via the linear HBO television channel, and deliver a 4K HDR feed to streaming viewers via HBO Go/Now.

There’s some great depth at what they were looking for in terms of casting, how to differentiate it from Game of Thronesand the filming locations, including the construction of the Red Keep which is just one giant set with multiple levels and rooms, showing Rhaenyra’s ascent to the Queen’s room in episode six wasn’t achieved through some visual trickery, but by actually following Emma D’Arcy from one room in the set to another. It’s a technology that helps improve the contrast rates between whites and blacks, making the picture much more accurate, while also providing a larger colour palette and more colour shades.House of the Dragon: Season One is available in both a standard plastic case and Limited Edition Collectible SteelBook.

From the cast to the production team, every aspect of the show is fantastic and the bonus features give a nice look at how much hard work and passion for Martin’s material went into its creation.

Thrones had a pretty clear line between its heroes and villains – infamously so for its villains – but Houseis in contrast where all the characters are capable of morally grey actions. It’s a shame, though, there are not any audio commentaries on any of the episodes from Condal, Sapochnik, Martin or the cast. Unfortunately for NOW viewers, House of the Dragon won't be available to watch in 4K as the Sky streaming service does not support this format. The screech of Rhaenyra’s dragon Syrax in Episode 2 at 35 minutes has a cool effect that moves quickly through several channels, and when it flies overhead activates rear and overhead speakers. The SteelBook has an illustration of dragons that continues on the back and front, with a photo of the cast on the inside behind the discs.
