The characters, two hunters, steer away the human police who have come to investigate, only to find two children alive and their mother dead, seemingly by suicide. Introduced with a jaunty pop mix, two characters drive through the countryside, encountering a fairytale-style home, one whose chimney is billowing red mist. The opening moments are enough to throw viewers off balance.
House of the Dragon and Rings of Power haven’t been able to level up to their namesakes, and this is only part of the reason the under-the-radar Netflix series The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself works so well - not only is its source material not as well known but it also arrives out of the gate fully formed and understands how to get its hooks in as viewers take the first step into this universe of dark and potent magic. Aside from the shockingly well-written Andor, fantasy and science fiction series have been sorely lacking in recent months.
