I've read a lot of horror scripts, and generally you get the blood and the guts and the jump scares and all of that. This script stuck out because it was so character-driven. It lived in relationships and not in the gimmicks of horror. It's horror with heart, and when I first read it, it had my heart pounding the whole time.

Set in the 1980s, "Small Things Like These" focuses on Bill, whose business takes him to the local convent, where he realizes the women are trapped and miserable.

The problem with adapting a history book like Fire & Blood is that events overshadow characters, but House of the Dragon has finally brought its characters alive.
