This series is a prequel done well. It acts as a great homage to a fanbase hungry for more after Game of Thrones ended, also somewhat controversially and rushed.

There is less inside this series than the more expansive Game of Thrones series, but what it does on a smaller level, it does well. You'll get to see warring factions, intrigue, dragons and gory betrayal. There's not a lot not to like. At times the series runs slow so I did find myself tapping in and out. As the series progresses, it crescendos into a narrative that you can't stop watching and I eagerly look forward to the second season!
