There are extras on discs one and two, some of which were already available on HBO Max. But the bonus material should have included deleted scenes and probably should have inserted all the trailing “Inside the Episode” minidocs available with HBO. Regardless, this season is a must-own on 4k Blu-ray Disc. This is presumably because a live 4K broadcast would consume too much bandwidth, with an on-demand streaming version being easier for Sky to push to your device.

House of the Dragon: Season 1 (4K Ultra HD) (2022)

Firstly, House of the Dragon will be available to watch in 4K HDR as long as you have the right subscription on your Sky Q or Sky Glass set. 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. Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novel “Fire & Blood,” House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. House of the Dragon episodes are dark though. Such has been the commonplace of many darker dramas. You might consider brightening your screen if the imagery is too obscure.

Unfortunately for NOW viewers, House of the Dragon won't be available to watch in 4K as the Sky streaming service does not support this format. 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.

Closeups are immaculate and the dynamic range is impressive in most scenes. The dragon effects work has really come a long way since GOT S1, so much so that we may take for granted that dragons are pure fantasy.
