House of the Dragon
The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.

FAQ
You ask, we answer
Our Top 10 shows the most-watched movies and shows on HBO Max in your country. We build it from TMDB data and refresh it every week (last updated July 2026).
Start with the Top 10 or the top-rated picks: high scores with a big audience behind them. The new-releases row shows what just landed.
Every week. We pull viewing data and ratings from TMDB, so the lineup follows real popularity instead of a fixed list.
The HBO Max catalog varies by country because of licensing. A VPN unlocks content from other regions; our current pick is Surfshark.
Our current pick is Surfshark: it reliably unblocks overseas catalogs and streams smoothly. See our VPN reviews for the full comparison.
From TMDB (The Movie Database): public popularity and audience ratings. No guesswork, so the rankings match what people really watch.
When you travel, HBO Max switches to the local catalog of wherever you are, or blocks playback entirely. Connect a VPN to a server back home and HBO Max treats you as if you never left, with your usual library.
Yes. A VPN only changes the region HBO Max sees, not your account. You still need an active HBO Max subscription, the VPN just unlocks the catalogs and access you would otherwise be missing.
Barely, if you pick the right one. A premium VPN like Surfshark adds little overhead, so connect to a nearby server and you stream HBO Max in full quality without buffering.
