I'm not a typical fantasy fan, but classics as GoT and Lord of the Ring I've very much apreciated. I had high hopes for this as well, even though I didn't read the books or played the game. Netflix did go all in, so it should be kind of good.

But no. Neither the writing or plot is remotely close to what I hoped for.

For someone who don't have any knowledge about it on forehand, the series is a mess from the start. No backstories on the characters, unclear time cuts, weak dialogue and uncomprehensible plots that don't make any sense.

98% of the time I found myself asking me why did he go there? Do they know each other? What does that mean? Why, what, when, who and where. And so on.

If you consider yourself a fantasy fan and have played the game or read the books, maybe this is worth the watch. But if you're like me, don't waste your time.
