I honestly thought after the appalling last series of GOT, HoTD had to be a good remedy for my disappointment. How wrong I was.

It's a shame George R R Martin didn't concentrate his efforts on finishing his first saga before embarking on another... money talks I guess and integrity walks.

So what have we got? A plot that a 14 year old could write, bland characters, a bit of TITillation, and some misplaced actors who should have known better before signing up to appear in this steaming pile of dragon dung (and no, I'm not including Matt Smith, who performance is as wooden as some of the stage sets) Was a GOT fan (up to the end of series 7) but definitely NOT a HoTD aficionado. Should be renamed The House That Drags On and on and on and on...
