Well, after first 4 episodes I nearly fell asleep. The only thing that has kept me awake was that I had to figure out the timeline. I was so disappointed, of course comparing it to the entire GOT, that I wanted to give up. Yet, hell it's Friday so why not to see how it ends. To my surprise the plot has taken off and the film has started to be interesting and more or less all plots came together in episode 5.

I guess if it was made prior GOT, I would have been ecstatic about it. Unfortunately, GOT has put the bar super high (w/o the last season).

I presume, those who have not read the book will struggle to understand what is going on but if you manage to the end of episode 5, you may like it, like it a lot. Shame for the writers to make it so convoluted at the beginning and cause the fans some pain.

Would give a 9 if not the slow and confusing start. Trust the second season will be better.
