Yes the last series of Game Thrones was terrible, no we didn't like the way it ended. But this weak generic clone of the original feels like a sad cash grab. At no point did I feel engaged or entertained. Not a single character mattered to me. I've never understood why people like Matt Smith, I think he ruined Dr Who and he's a lazy actor who seems to phone in every performance from a distance with no real emotion. He's awful in this.

Every scene with a dragon is more watchable but it's still just not entertaining. The endless talking and politics is dull here. I love a bit of Shakespearean drama like Succession but all the tedious family drama broken up by the tiniest bit of action simply does not carry this.

You have none of the guts of the original, and none of the casting and acting strength of the original. I just struggle to care and that wasn't the case with the original: week by week you hung out for the next ep. This though? Eh, go read one of the books, it will entertain you more than this. Lord they spent so much money on it - it cost a fortune. And I struggle to care.

TV in the modern age. It's all maths and metrics and they figured they had the formula to hook us in. They do not.
