‘Dark’ House Of The Dragon: HBO Defends Dark Scenes

HBO has defended the latest episode of its Game of Thrones spin-off after some viewers complained that it was too dark to see what was happening on screen.

The seventh episode of House of the Dragon was released on Monday, with some scenes set during the night.

But a number of fans complained or joked about how poor lighting meant they could not see what was going on.

In response, broadcaster HBO Max said: “The dimmed lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision.”

A significant number of viewers tweeted about the darkness, and the network replied to several of them with the same message.
