It's not exactly new to viewers of US shows here in the UK that there's an unhelpful gap between when an episode becomes available over the pond, compared to our experience. Still, House of the Dragon's third season has been a salient reminder.
Every Monday for the last eight weeks, I've had to wait through a workday on a Monday, after the episode went live on Now (my streaming service of choice for HBO right now) at midnight, to coincide with the air time in the US on Sunday evening. That wait has been made way harder by HBO's dedicated Game of Thrones YouTube channel.
