First of all this is coming from someone who hasn't played the videogames or read the books.

So I've watched the first few episodes and I can say that I'm a bit dissapointed. Feels like it's only trying to be like game of thrones. Scenes happen with no explanation for no reason at all. It's just fetch questing. Boring and pointless dialogue that doesn't drive the narrative forward at all. There are alot of plot holes and just things that don't make any sense. This show doesnt give me a reason to care about the characters. You have to add depth and detail to characters for them to be unique. Why not some sort of personal perspective from any of the characters. Because this show is not convincing me that these characters feel real.

However, the show is pretty well shot with stunning visuals. I enjoyed watching the battle scenes but the characters can sometimes just stop and then stare at each other for no reason and then start attacking again, what's even with that?

I see quite alot of potential in this show but it's just not happening for me. Hopefully my opinion will change when I watch these last few episodes but I don't expect it to.
