Game of thrones really didn't pick up until a few episodes in and this took a couple to pick up speed as well. From episode four things have gotten really interesting and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Beautifully filmed, set design is wonderful as is costume as is acting (Paddy Constantine and quite frankly all of the cast have been awesome)

I'll admit it hasn't been perfect but neither was the first season of Game Of Thrones, let's be honest. I'd even go as far to place this above the first season of game of thrones. It took a bit of getting used to until around the third episode but since then it hasn't slowed down and I've been enjoying the ride and am looking forward to seeing what else is in store.
