Hard to know where to begin. I couldn't figure out if it was the writing, the editing or the directing that made this such a mess, but probably a bit of all 3. It feels like the Shannara Chronicles style wise, so cheap and not thought through. The story makes no sense, in fact the art of storytelling, so strong in a production like GoT is wispy and weak here, it feels like this was made by a committee, with no one person steering the storyline, and you end up scene after scene wondering what on earth they are trying to do? Casting wise Cavill is too good looking for the character he is playing, there is no depth and it comes across as 2-dimensional. Nobody else stands out to be honest. Maybe the next few episodes will improve, but it looks doubtful
