10 Shows Like House of the Dragon to Fill Your Sunday Night Void There's a long wait before the HBO series returns, but there are plenty alternatives available.
Thanks to House of the Dragon, Sunday nights have had that Game of Thrones TV magic once again. These kinds of sprawling and violent fantasy stories are often hard to adapt to the screen—and sometimes even hard to watch—but their intense action, twists, and controversial sex scenes keep audiences tuned in and talking. While we wait for Season Two to take us into a war full of dragons and royal bickering, there will be plenty of time to get that fix for medieval fantasy. Luckily, the genre is chock full of shows featuring clashing swords, ancient fantasy languages, and prophesies that spell eternal darkness. All you need to do is trade names like Aegon for Aragorn and voila! The journey continues. If you're looking to keep the fantasy binge going, these shows are the next best thing. |

| I live in the same county where I grew up. So when my family and I drive to the Oldham Theatre to see a movie, almost always a superhero movie, because it seems like there's a new one every single week, it's hard not to remember eating Jolly Ranchers in this same theater while watching Batman in 1989. My sons, fourteen and nine, are sitting in the same chairs that I sat in when I was their age, and they have to hear me say, every single time we go to the theater, "You know, I saw my first Batman movie in this very same theater." And they say, "Yes, god, we know. And you ate Jolly Ranchers from the concession stand." And I say, "But not the Jolly Ranchers that you kids eat—" And they interrupt to say, "Yes, they were a different size. We know. Dad, the movie is starting." |

| As August became September, and as the 2022 midterm elections gradually got close enough for everyone to get a clear look at them, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had a very bad week at work. For months there had seemed a decent chance that, come January, he would transform into the majority leader again. Then suddenly, all hell broke loose around him. He was caught up in feuds with Senator Rick Scott, who was the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and with Peter Thiel, the fabulously wealthy cyber-millenarian who has grand dreams of turning the United States into a techno-oligarchy once we all give up that self-government business. In both cases, McConnell was the voice of reason. That was enough to stir up the extremists. |
