"He texted me two weeks ago, being like, 'Oh, it's raining, so I can't play golf. I'm gonna try this.' And then a picture of the 'House of the Dragon' header." Even though the show has been airing since 2022, Cooke's father is starting right at season one. His review? "'Yeah, quite liked it. It was a bit violent.'"
