The characters are the least interesting thing about this show. This is meant to be an exciting time in the history of this madly beautiful made up world but for some unknown reason I feel tired everytime I watch it. Not sure what can improve after 4 episodes, maybe bring back the folks who made the predecessor. I hope it gets better like a fine wine but every episode is making want to watch game of thrones and forget this show ever existed. I hope I am very wrong about this show and it turns out to be a masterpiece but my gut as fat as that maybe is telling me it won't be and will forever be forgotten in the sands of time. I believe the missing ingredient is balls and the want to shock the audience, that's what we all want and deserve. Thanks for reading this.
