S1 E1
S1E1, "The Heirs of the Dragon": An aging king must decide who will follow him on the throne, a choice that quietly stirs trouble in his family. Dark, tense, and dramatic. Good for learners because much of the dialogue is clear and deliberate, with everyday chunks around greetings, royal duty, and warnings, in a formal, old-fashioned tone.
