House of the Dragon

Pop & Locke

“All men must serve,” as the saying goes—but whom must they serve? That’s the question posed by the new HBO series from the mind of George R. R. Martin, House of the Dragon. Set almost two centuries prior to the enormously successful Game of Thrones series, House of the Dragon sets up House Targaryen’s eventual fall from power, provides context for the fractured, feudal state of Westeros to come, and asks; who should have the right to rule?

Reason’s Natalie Dowzicky and Robby Soave join the show to point out how the series is an example of the failures of a government absent the constitutional rule of law, elite fears of populism, and crumbling institutions usurped by greed and power.
