This show seems to be great at several things: worldbuilding, writing, acting, and a once again an incredible score. The first episode was not perfect, but it did an astounding job at giving the audience just enough information to get a feel for each character without reveling too much too soon. All in all, it has the potential to be better than GoT but it is far too soon to tell. It is 100% worth a watch however, particularly if you were a fan of the earlier seasons of GoT.
