Thanks to a £1 a month offer from NowTV I've just finished "Call the King's Landing Midwife"... or House of the Dragon, as I believe it's usually called. Not a big fan of most of the casting, but then I thought half the original cast of GoT were shocking all the way through. Fortunately the other amazing cast members and Martin's plotting carried them bodily through the first few series. But this... well, I watched it all and the plotting was adequately involving.
But I really don't rate Matt Smith or Paddy Considine in such pivotal roles, so it was a bit of a struggle at times. I do, however, think Milly Alcock was very compelling. It was her performance which got me far enough into the series to be intrigued about how it all played out. Was disappointed to see her tag-teamed. I could have suspended my disbelief to keep her in the role... though it could have been a bit awkward with her being a bit young for the Call-the-Midwife-a-thon, but...
Anyway, I'll probably watch the next series... NowTV bargain permitting, obvs.
