I tried so hard to like this. From the start, it looked like a cheap imitation of GoT. From the special effects, to the acting to the plot, it just wasn't good. It had promise and there were some good nuggets of acting/plot in there, but overall it was confusing. A fight breaks out during a big event then it cuts to several years later without us knowing why the fight happened. It felt very rushed. I really enjoyed how they did the throne though. That was missing from the original show. The diversity casting that others complained about was done well I thought. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into any of the characters. By episode 6 I realized I didn't feel invested in any of them.
