The final episode of the second season of House of the Dragon, titled “The Queen Who Ever Was,” aired last Sunday. I can’t deny that I was a bit disappointed by the finale, as it didn’t quite live up to the promising storyline the series had been developing and featured some unexpected character shifts. However, I hope the show continues to succeed, so I’m pleased to share that the episode drew in 8.9 million viewers in one night on both HBO and Max. As reported by Variety, this is a record for the season, an increase of 14% from the number of viewers who watched the season premiere.

You might not know him by name, or at least by his real name, but Aaron Branch’s career in comedy has gotten a lot more stable lately. Thanks to his character “Malcolm” on the Netflix show “Unstable” starring Rob Lowe as eccentric biotech entrepreneur Ellis Dragon, Branch’s unique look and quirky, deadpan delivery beams into homes all over the country. On the show his role as Dragon’s assistant and best friend to Lowe’s co-star and real-life son John Owen Lowe (who plays Jackson Dragon) is a less funny version of a lot of real-life assistant gigs that helped him pay the bills. Now in its recently debuted second season, Branch says he’s in a spot in his career where his opportunities in Hollywood, both on screen and the comedy stage, have given him more drive to see where things can go pursuing his dream of being funny on stage and screen full time.
