House of the Dragon fans all have the same complaint about darkest scene yet as they brand show ‘unwatchable’
HOUSE of the Dragon fans have all issued the same complaint after a recent episode saw some key scenes take place in complete darkness.
The latest episode of the Game of Thrones prequel teased the breakout of war between the green and the blacks, with fresh wounds opened from the torrent of bloodshed.
The ending filled fans’ hearts with joy, as Ser Laenor Velaryon managed to make his escape with his lover Ser Qarl Correy after faking his own death.
However, one element of the episode sparked numerous complaints from viewers.
Dozens took to Twitter in their droves to complain that several scenes were so shrouded in darkness that they found it difficult to see.
One person questioned: "Why every episode does House of the Dragon have me straining my eyes at this dark screen?"

A third fumed that the episode was "so dark" it was "almost unwatchable", adding: "Can't see anything."
Another individual said they had to "squint" to make out what was happening on the screen.
HBO Max, the streaming platform that airs House of the Dragon in the US, responded to some of the complaints to explain that the dark lighting was a "creative decision".
The TV account for the company tweeted: "We appreciate you reaching out about a night scene in House of the Dragon: Episode 7 appearing dark on your screen.
