8.9 stars, thats elite, and this show is not. THE BAD: The majority female cast is a good shift for Hollywood and equality, but unfortunately in my opinion NONE of them have any drawing power. Bunch of cry babies who don't know how to play "The Game". Cersi for all her faults was such a captivating draw, amazing caracter, she was the villain you came to love. None of the women in HOTD come close and the wimp king and other guys aren't any better. THE GOOD: Still it is an entertaining show, graphics are good, it does have a decent GOT feel, and is definitely worth watching. I just don't understand such a high star rating is all.
