I've only watched the first two episodes, but so far this series is very much the old school GoT we all enjoyed. We've got a strong group of main characters, an interesting backstory, and a classic downfall storyline to follow. Matt Smith is perfectly cast, and the look, sound and feel is just what we hoped for. Do bear in mind that this is a violent show, much the same as the original series. Plus, as an added bonus we get dialogue that is written and spoken by adults.

Fingers crossed it avoids the fate of the last seasons of GoT. I will return and adjust this review as the series progresses.
