Okay, lead actors change has happened with The Crown as well, but at least they did it in between seasons and it was somewhat expected. The unexpected 10-year jump is coming out of the blue and looks like an artifact of the need to change actors.

The fact this wasn't disclosed and you just discover this by surprise is a silver lining of how HBO treats their customers. And this was THE most advertised and expected show in their network, but despite that the very first season is mismanaged.

If actors aren't important to you for some reason, this is an interesting story, but I found nothing more but a disappointment and my time wasted.
