![]() It's a mixed bag, along with the delivery of lines and the scenes in general come across very flat and uninteresting. But this isn't the type of show you get obsessed with like GoT was.Ĭasting was a disaster it seems, not confident to go with new actors, not bold enough to put money down for great known actors. High production value for sure, and the end of episode three had a pretty cool battle scene. ![]() Enjoyable for those like soap operas, with a little T&A and some brutal violence, with the occassional dragon thrown in. It's just palace intrigues and plots within plots. There is no one to root for, and no existential threat beyond the wall or from anywhere else. There's no Jon Snow or Tyrion Lannister, and after episode 4, it looks like Rhaenrys has more in common to Cersei than Daenerys. We have a bunch of unlikeable characters vying for the throne, but all of them are pretty horrible. That brings me to my final complaint, in that there's no real compelling antagonists or protagonists here. The worst part is, it's just a painful reminder of the way GoT ended, and how disappointing the whole "prophecy" thing was (not to mention a red herring) and how underwhelming the white walker invasion was after years of build up. This makes little sense, and was clearly done as a cheap tie-in with little thought behind it. One thing that really annoyed me was that they try to link it the original series by connecting the Targaryean rule to the prophecy in GoT. ![]() It's basically a soap opera, with a lot of double dealing and backstabbing going on. The plot so far heavily revolves around a looming war of succession between multiple Targaryeans. This takes place about 170ish years before the events of GoT, so we see what a Targaryean ruled Westeros is like. I was huge fan of GoT, but disappointed with the way it ended, so I was not really excited when they announced this show. I'm four episodes in and I can say I don't feel strongly about this show.
