I was expecting, after I had written my observations, that I would be berated by screeching Song of Ice and Fire fanatics. It seems that concensus is in line with my own observations, to wit, that this is a lack-luster G. O. T. Wanna-be,, dang, two hypehenated words in a row.. sorry bout dat! In any case my observation is this is just a plastic copy of the original. The very first thing I noticed is the costumes. All perfect like they just came out of the.costume department. All without a scratch, blemish, or wrinkle. Now that's authenticity bub! From that point I was jaded I admit, but the rest of what I've watched, to e06, is following that trend. Does anyone remember an awful series called Reign that was supposed to be.taking place during the Mary Queen of Scots era, but the music was like Taylor Swift , costumes, for the 'royal gala's' was like a cheap high-school graduation gown etc. Well, this show is not quite as bad as that but if you're looking for Game of Thrones, that is how this will feel to you.. It's ok, It's cheap Americanized drivel but my friend, it aint no Game of Thrones, Not even remotely close.
