I'm underwhelmed with the visuals & the toned-down violence.

The story sorta pulls you in, but not the imagery. I'm really disappointed in the lack of quality imagery. Most of the outdoor scenes resemble a nuclear winter, especially by the ocean...as if 172 years pre-GOT there were no clear sky's, only fog. Is the budget not accommodating great scenery or real landscapes?? I find it annoying.

In GOT, S1, Ep1, from the moment it opens, it grabs you...the dialog is non-existent, but the visuals are clear and inviting. The scenery is crisp. It feels real...as if I could be there, witnessing.

Plus, HOD has toned down the violence. Every violent scene this season shows the tail end of the event, or it's viewed from a distance. Is this to appease the "woke idiots"??

Give us what we want!
