As a total fantasy fan, I thought His Dark Materials was incredible from beginning to end.

Since House of the Dragon has just begun, we can expect several more seasons. The Targaryen family ruled Westeros for centuries, and it’s impossible to tell that entire story in just one series, or even one season. The Iron Throne changed hands many times over the years, ultimately ending with Bran the Broken as seen in Game of Thrones.
