I was hoping for something better, but the acting is not great. Especially the young princess is horribly weak.

The story itself looks interesting so far, although I think we should forget the Games of Thrones and look at it as a complete different story.

What bothers me though is the fact, that the studios have to be politically correct nowadays when choosing actors. I won't go into details...

Another thing that came into my mind was that it looked like I was watching an episode of the Lord of the Rings and all the blond characters are elves.

I sincerely hope that the series are getting better.
