House of the Dragon: The Complete First Season [4K UHD]

Product Information

We’re thrilled to be the exclusive broadcaster of House of the Dragon in 4K Ultra HD in Australia, putting fans right in the action with the most intense and immersive viewing experience available. Series cinematographer Fabien Wagner famously blamed viewers’ ability to tune their TVs, as well as the compression the episode went through for HBO to broadcast and stream it for the problems. Much like the first season of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragonis engrossing right from the start with its characters, played by an excellent cast, and its story. Whereas GoTwas a sprawling epic told all across and beyond Westeros featuring many clashing houses, House of the Dragoninstead focuses on the Targaryen family at the height of their power, yet also at a critical time in their rule that will define Westerosi history going forward. There’s also an irony as the show features more of the ‘game of thrones’ than Game of Thronesdid as multiple characters plot, lie and manipulate for more power and a chance to sit on the famed Iron Throne. The production on the show is to a grand scale with its costume design, sets, locations and cinematography. Each element adds to how immersive the series is and give it its own look and feel separate to Game of Thrones. The visual effects also stand out as there are many more dragons in this show, each one given its own distinctive features, and a few battle sequences that showcase the devastation dragons add to the chaos. It’s visually stunning, especially with the 4K presentation that makes everything pop, but the story is captivating even with some of the abrupt time jumps the season introduces and expects you to go along with. It emphasizes the biggest draw isn’t necessarily the schemes for the Iron Throne, but the characters and how their motivations and viewpoints put their family and friendships to the test.

Dolby Atmos makes House of the Dragon a first for HBO Max

That was the spring of 2019. Now, in the summer of 2022, that’s exactly what HBO will be doing with House of the Dragon. The long-awaited future is here.

This year Foxtel has doubled the amount of live hours in 4K Ultra HD available across sport – increasing to more than 200 hours – making it the largest broadcaster of 4K Ultra HD content in Australia, and now the home of one of the most popular entertainment franchises in 4K Ultra HD – House of the Dragon. Furthermore, it will not be available in 4K for NOW customers, as the service doesn’t support Ultra HD at all. Everyone is the cast is great, but particular praise has to go to Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys Targaryen. Anyone who watched the original series will be used to some pretty lousy or downright evil kings and queens ruling over Westeros, but Viserys is different in how he is a kind and competent king who feels the weight of the crown every day and tries to balance his duty to the realm with his family.

House Of The Dragon In 4K

In the US (and several other countries), on HBO Max, House Of The Dragonwill be available in 4K and HDR. But HBO Max is not available in the UK (at least not without a VPN), therefore many of its shows air on Sky.
