What a disappointment.

After all the hype a very bad screenplay ( who wrote this?) surely not from the pen of George R R Martin although at the end of the original GOT everyone I think was disillusioned.

The pondering storyline is so so boring and little or no action going on where in the original there was always some underlying betrayal from the other distant houses. This is taking too long to grab anyones interest and is totally confusing at times with the sudden leap in years with not even a mention on screen of how many have past? This might have helped.

It seems that having G R R as a consultant on this show has not given any input as far as I am concerned as it is no comparison to the original first 7 series of GOT at least, the latter being guessed?

The older princess suddenly had princes, not from Ser Criston Cole but from another unknown character suddenly thrust upon the audience and then quickly dispatched to far off lands to save her embarrassment. Then it's back to the uncle ( after the dispatching of her gay husband) where did it go wrong with Criston?

The writing of this boring plodding narrative needs a mighty shake up!

More information please of what year we are in if only a date on screen might help a totally confused audience.
