Why do people rate this so high?

It's not nearly as good as GoT, which people love to compare it with.

First season is boring, the action is happening only in 1 place... characters are predictable and the costumes are ridiculous.

So why do people rate it so high? Is it political? Is it because of HBO or is it because of being a Warner Bros production?

To me it seems purely a political score, not an artistic one.

Long soap operas focused on the tragical faith of being a women who must carry children for the throne. (This was also one of the main storylines in GoT but do you know what else GoT had? Well, it had at least other 5 or 6 compelling storylines to follow.)

I am trying to watch this with my girlfriend without feeling the need to leave a review but here we are now.

We don't get the hype around this trash.
