This is straight into the political and warmongering side of Game of Thrones but has totally lost the genius of the (first 4 seasons) original, humour. The gossiping, the snide comments, the humour, the wickedness and the game playing. This has been replaced by laboured pacing, straightforward scripting and absolutely zero layering.

They have picked really good actors but they are being let down by a basic script and think they will be saved by Dragons. The only character that has anything about them is Deamon, and his story line is just as predictable as everyone else's.

Also, could have had a different theme tune.

Give me some laughter, give me some back stabbing and give me some whispers in the corridors.
