The show goes through its plot and character work at such a quick speed that the weight of a lot of moments don't feel as heavy as they should or could. It's also structured very strangely for seemingly no reason and the strange editing choices don't help in any way. Although I will say it's still worth a watch for the fantastic fantasy elements on display. From the monsters to the magic and the epic battles. It delivers. Does it come close to game of thrones? In terms of fantasy entertainment? I can't say. They're both extremely different. In terms of effects and action scenes. It definitely comes close. In terms of characters, emotions, and intrigue. Nowhere near.
