The trailer and the hype convinced us, only to be disappoined within the 1st episode. Not reading the books or playing the game, we entered with little knowledge and tried not to compare it to Game of Thrones.

The result is an astonishingly bad show. Maybe it's because we don't know the story, but the show itself feels incoherent and unhinged. The time line is confusing, but worst of all, the dialogue is cringe worthy. Even decent actors struggle to make scenes look convincing, and the only decent part are the scarce but well choreographed sword fights and Henry Cavill who is pretty charismatic.

We haven't finished the show yet, so who knows. But we couldn't watch further after the episode that resembles Beauty & the Beast, without writing this review.
