I like everything about this series except for the jump in 10 years which took the characters forward that causes confusion and non fluid structure leading to disorientation. The start was a bit slow though. The characters are interesting and the spin off stories of them and how they interlace with the underlying storyline is good. The same violence, cruelly, debauchery and fascination with dragons can be seen here as in GOT. Keeps me interested enough to want season 2 to come fast. The visual effects and cast did a great job. It's hard to compete with GOT as so many have watched GOT with it's many seasons, loved it (though not the stupid ending). Is this prequel epic quality? Too early to say but it's certainly promising.
