Everything revolves around one single subject in all ten episodes. There's no plot, really, no story. There are no interesting characters, the dialogues are weak - in form and in substance - and the performances are well below average, with maybe two or three exceptions. I agree with other reviewers who have described it as "soapy", and those who have pointed out how dark the picture is. It's inevitable to compare it to GoT without quickly seeing how inferior it is. The script, the production, the cast. I watched the entire season and had to push myself to get to the end, because I don't like to stop half way, but I found it hard to stay engaged.
