‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Finale: The Dance of the Dragons Catches Fire
To bring HoD’s third season to a conclusion, “The Treasons of Tumbleton” finally delivers the kind of bloody, operatic spectacle that HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel has been promising since its premiere. The episode turns the Targaryen civil war into something considerably more horrifying than a family squabble over a crown.

It’s a welcome change,...
