As a fan on GOT I must say that this is quite boring unless you are excited by endless political wranglings over the heir to a throne. The main actors are great but they have nothing to work with. There aren't enough story devices or character arcs. I imagine that GOT virgins would find it very hard to get through. There may be better and more engaging events in the horizon but they have done an awful job of hooking the viewer in the first three episodes, with too much exposition and dreary dialogue, no main protagonist or danger. Lavish production but pretty empty story that is very slow and ponderous.
