You know how you find a dish you REALLY like at your favorite restaurant, and you THINK you're going to make it at home?

That's kinda how this show came across to me. Something wasn't there.

It was trying to capture some of GoT style, but missed. It jumped around a lot on main characters that took some time to cross paths. Then it rushed to bring them together (fears of the show being canceled). Random characters you're SUPPOSED to know, since reading the books / playing the games are required for viewing.

And anyone who complained about Christian Bale as Batman... please avoid this because the over active and forced voices will make you even crazier.

All in all though, it lacked some polish, needs another season to get it's own identity instead of riding another show's popularity. Then it might be fine.
