5.0

A classic Victorian-style social drama about a high society family in turmoil after the death of their patriarch leaves them in disagreement over their inheritance.

Except that everyone is a dragon and the inheritance dispute is mainly over who gets to eat what part, and how much, of their father's body.

It's the rare combo of a top-notch premise and flawless execution. And the dragons canonically wear hats.
