The show skips over much of the character development to basically highlight interesting points like a history book. The major time jump didn't bother me, the new actors are well casted but I was hoping they would let us live with them longer, get to know them and actually flow through the story how game of thrones does. Instead we time jump so much in this show that I feel very disconnected from the characters. All of Allison's children along with Rhaenyra's are so difficult to connect to because you can't know someone from a couple scenes In an episode and jump to them being teenagers. It just feels lazy

I have read the book and understand that this is the format but this format doesn't work for good television.
