Alright, I didn't watch all 8 episodes so far but the final fight scene of episode 1 already sold the show to me. Its a bit confusing to watch if you don't know the games or the books, but it's not like GoT was easy to understand with all the characters and factions. Not drawing a comparison here between those shows, they are (and should be) completely different. Good job Netflix! And again, screw the "professional" critics with their political agendas. This show is worth a watch.
