House of the Dragon Season 1 Final Series (HBO)
after rather The penultimate episode is lacklusterThe House of the Dragon finale has a lot to ride on. Namely, we hope to see more dragon rides and (fingers crossed) some dragon fight on dragon. Now that the Greens have been crowned King Aegon, Rhinera and Team Black will undoubtedly take revenge. It is highly doubtful that the old heir would accept any “terms” that Queen Aliscent would propose.
Rhaenyra still has supporters among the lords and knights of Westeros. She has more dragons, although her half-brother Prince Aemond has the largest dragon ever in Vhagar. You’ll need to make an army, which means recruiting more houses for your cause. Civil war is brewing. The question is who will hit first?

Her only escape from a boring routine is through advanced video games. She’s a top gamer, so a company sends her a new video game system to test out.

Inside Amy Schumer Season 5 (Paramount Plus)
After a six-year hiatus, Amy Schumer is returning for another season of her comedy series, which originally aired on Comedy Central. She joked that she would come back to “burn any remaining bridges” and cancel herself for good.

However, we are glad to see more show that gave us such classic graphics as “Another f**kable day”And the “compliments” And the “12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer.”

American Horror Story Season 11 (FX)
From rampant rats to sick commuters on the subway, New York City is a treasure trove of American horror stories. So, naturally, Ryan Murphy takes his long anthology series to get rid of nightmares from the city that never sleeps.
AHS: New York City follows one story through several different time periods. Details of that story are unknown, as Murphy likes to keep his plots a secret. But we do know that, as usual, he has recruited a bunch of his regular lieutenants, including Billy Lourd, Dennis O’Hare, Zachary Quinto, and Leslie Grossman. The other faces, though, are new, including Kal Penn and Russell Tovey. Sarah Paulson is not in sight (crying).
