It's funny how people either loved it or hated it.

I'm with the loving ones!

Most of the bad critics i've read are based on comparison with GOT and on high expectations not met, i'd say that's an awful way to build your opinion on anything...

I loved the show, it got me hooked really quickly and i think it would do the same to anyone trying it without expecting too much from a first season.

The only negative comment i would have is that some parts are hard to follow at first as time shifts back and forth at some points.

It's also a shame that it only has 10 episodes, i would have taken more!

Edit: Everything i wrote about season 1 still holds, but the following seasons really disappointed me: crucial elements removed from the material source, poor representation of characters and events, and new things that don't make sense. I reduced my rating to 8/10, would have reduced it even more if it wasn't for the first season.
