From the very beginning I was disappointed, and confused. The acting is generally really bad. There was only 3 actors, that shined from the very beginning, and sadly two of them was replaced because of the timeline. The young princess, the young queen, and the brother to the King. The rest of the cast is ill instructed, and are very overplayed, and very boring. Nothing is subtle, or between the lines, like we are used to from GOT - everything is talking heads, and theatrical scenery. No one is likeable, or charming, besides those three. The young princess is gives the impression of a real Targaryen. Very beautiful, strong mind, and charismatic - like we got used to with the 'mother of dragons'. However, she was replaced by an actress with no resemblance, charm, or acting skills. Also the character has changed so much, that it is unrecognizable, without proper explanation - at which we got none. She went from strong, and charming - to a weakling, and birth-machine. The young queen also made a 180 from episode, to episode - from being likeable, and caring, to a very negative person, who is capable of all kinds of evil. There are no history in these transitions of character. Also everything is rushed, and often they make these scenes at which they attempt to be clever, and show it all at once. However, these scenes are childish, and very poorly done. Even the scenes that have some substance in them, are suddenly drowned it cliche. A very bad attempt to make a prequel to one of the most epic stories ever told - a waste of time.
