No where as good as GAME OF THRONES, this series is slow,dimly lit and boring. If it went any slower it would stop. The first eight episodes are very disappointing in every aspect. It keeps jumping from character to character, thinking thta it is 200 years before the coming of Game of Thrones not a lot of progress was made in the way of inventions! You would have thought progress would have been made in weapons,transport etc,but no it is still the same. Anyway not impressed. It was so boring I stopped half way through episode eight . Cast are wooden ,some are trying to hard (Matt Smith) He makes me laugh when he tries to be evil,cant help but see Dr Who.
