HBO has addressed the criticism that the latest episode of House of the Dragon was too dark, which had led viewers to describe the fantasy show as "unwatchable" this week.
The seventh episode of the series – which is a prequel to Game of Thrones – aired on Sunday evening (October 2) in the US and the following morning on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
Although it brought drama in the form of its plot, the episode prompted frustration among viewers – who felt it featured "poor lighting" which made it difficult to watch.
