Our family is a big GoT fan, and we've stuck with HotD thinking things will pick up eventually. Instead, Episode 6 was one of the worst that one could have expected from the GoT franchise.

In my opinio, it's hard to pin point one thing wrong - the speed, or characters, or the storyline. The treatment of the story is akin to a family drama. As some other reviewers have pointed out, it just feels like a whole different series, and the director's attempts at scenes to shock you leave you well... disgusted.

The political drama that is central to GoT is lackluster in HotD and somehow overly focussed on gender roles rather than a strong storyline.

Not coming back for the next episode.
