Slow beginning, predictable and tried to death narrative of a power struggle between elites. But nice set, some great acting, and less woke nonsense.

If they casted Lord Corlys Velaryon as someone from a fantastical place where people of his skin are predominantly from, with an amazing non native accent then his character would be more interesting. Instead, he stands out like a sore thumb and it come across as a diversity hire. Horrible.

Let's see how it all plays out.
