The show contains all the necessary elements of a great show: suspense, drama, betrayal, passion - however it's biggest flaw is that it lacks a likable person.

Every character falls in either of two categories; arrogant or pathetic, and this becomes apparent immediately.

The show needs a hero with humility whose rise to power is mostly seen as a taking of responsibility for the good of the realm and not for one's personal ambition.

Where is the character development? Where is the struggle? What sort of values should we emulate and from whom?

Still, the show is worth watching - I just hope that one of the dragons goes crazy and eats everyone.

Ugh, where is Jon Snow when you need him?
