Slow, boring, nowhere near the quality of the original GOT. With exception of Damien, the characters are uninteresting. Episodes are difficult to see, mostly shot in dark. Had to turn on CC since difficult to hear also, alot of whispers and heavy accents. Better off just watching the original again. HBO max should have took more time and come up with an original story, maybe focusing on Essos instead of Westeros. The dragons are diritive, and poorly used in the story. Very disappointing overall but unfortunately, since HBO has fallen behind with original series programming, will stick it out and finish the first season.
