Read previewWarning: spoilers ahead for "House of the Dragon" season two. "House of the Dragon" season two has turned Daemon Targaryen, one of the show's most beloved characters, into a joke. At the end of the first season, the complex and charming Daemon (Matt Smith) emerged as one of the show's most popular characters. Related storiesBut in the chapters adapted for season two, Daemon only goes to Harrenhal and unites the Riverlands. But if the show's writers let themselves be constricted by the book's narrative, they risk "House of the Dragon" going stale — just like Daemon's story arc.
