The production of this show is expectional. Great clothes and scenery. However, unlike the first series in the story, which had mulitple plots going on at the same time, this series seems locked into just one --court intrigue. That makes it drag a bit and border on boring at times. It also is a familiar tale of what does happen at a royal court, so the events to come are foretold; you can see them coming. I never knew what would happen on. Game of Thrones; where we would travel throughout the kindgom and into other storylines. Still, I enjoy the possibilities of this series, despite the blloody river running throughout the intro, seeming to go nowhere other than more blood. Perhaps that is its single plot, killings and more killings. I hope not.
