Just watched the first episode and absolutely thrilled everyone else is loving it so far. Big fan of the books, so when I heard this was being made into a television series, I was extremely excited but also hesitant hoping this wouldn't be a flop. For these type of fantasy shows, I feel it's very hard for actors to capture the right persona. But I was highly impressed by all of the actors in the pilot. Of course with all movie/television adaptations things were changed, which was understandable but I didn't find myself bothered by any of the changes that were made. What I loved most was seeing all the other character perspective and what other things were going on beyond the main storyline. Defiantly worth watching!
