"House of the Dragon" IMDB user ratings: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11198330/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

• I will use the arithmetic mean of the individual season 2 episode ratings, two weeks after the release of the season 2 finale.

• Here are the ratings for season 1, at the time of question creation:

• The average is 8.72. Thus, if season 2 has an average IMDB episode rating >8.72, this question resolves YES.

Details

• For each individual episode rating, I will use the precision listed by IMDB (typically a single decimal), but I'll allow full precision when computing the mean.

• For simplicity/clarity, I will stick with the average rating for season 1 at the time of question creation (i.e. 8.72), even if this shifts in the future.
