While the topic was about transgender rights and a young girl expressing her frustration with the bathroom situation at school, Oliver tried to make the dark moment lighter by making fun of the HBO fantasy series.
“That’s brutal! It’s so dark and really hard to watch,” Oliver said of the young transgender girl who talks about having security guards when she goes to the bathroom.
Then Oliver quipped, ‘Which would also, coincidentally, be a very accurate catchphrase for Dragon House. “
On the screen, the tagline reads, “It’s too dark to really be seen.”
That was after episode 7 of Dragon House It aired that viewers expressed their frustration with how grim some of the scenes were. The episodes appear to have been filmed while there was daylight but were blacked out in post-production to show that it was in the evening hours.
