HouseOfTheDragon and TheRingsOfPower have been presented as shining new jewels in the streaming pantheon. They also belie a lack of imagination. kvanaren writes
, is deliberately operating from the Peter Jackson playbook. Both series are presented as shining new jewels in the streaming pantheon, and they are! Nearing the end of their first seasons, though, it’s painfully clear that they are conservative plays, efforts to make and remake things that were already successful and serve them to audiences again, like last night’s roast chicken turned into today’s chicken salad.
Don’t get me wrong — I am fond of chicken salad. There is always a place for it, and TV, with its seasonal structures and yearslong productions, is a particularly apt medium for the familiar thing that returns in slightly new iterations. Still,resemble smooth replicas rather than exciting new reworkings. That A/B test sensation comes out of their cultural proximity but also because the shows shine with the unmistakable shellac of extensive market testing.
My adolescent self, her thick plastic glasses buried deep in the pages of stout paperbacks with dragons on the front, would look up and shake her head sadly, dismayed to find she’d ever turn down her nose at such generous offerings from her very favorite genre. Does it matter so much that these two series have been so thoroughly tested to provide what audiences want that they then deliver, I suspect it would be much better to take a broader view of what’s possible within the genre.
