I just watched the first episode and I just don't get why people think it is comparable to GoT? Because people are riding horses and wearing middle age uniforms? Let me provide you an example: In the first episode there are some characters killed and I felt that the authors wanted to make it very dramatic (dramatic music, unconvincing emotional acting etc).. however, I do not even know these persons... why should I care? This is a big mistake by the story writers... please give us time to get in emotional relations to these characters!

There are further too many names of unknown characters introduced in the first 30 mins. Furthermore, we do not even see these persons. There are only some boring dialogues about them like "blabla is coming to kill us all and his son blablabla will also kill us and his wife blablabla who is the daughter of blabla is dead"... ok thank you! Now I will get tears in my eyes because I loved these guys so much :-/

There is also another very annoying thing: the way of talking. Only because the story is set in a fictional middle age time people certainly do not have to talk like stupid people in a kid's fairy tale.

I wanted to give 'The Witcher' a chance but story writing, acting and the story line as such is just horrible. I stopped watching it after the first episode.
