Who is not fan of books or games probally will not understand nothing, but some friends play the games and neither could watch the first episode, I watch until 3, I will look until the end and maybe I change my opinion about this series! But it's weak, it's similar like game of thrones the scenario or battles (similar if you don't read the books), maybe I am making confusion, but I prefer more action than slow conversation! I am surprise about those 10 stars, maybe a crazy fan!
