I did not have high hopes going into this show. Season 8 left a flaming bag of dog droppings in my mouth so I was understandably hesitant to watch this. Two episodes in and it is a much stronger show than I expected.

The cast are talented, the writing is solid, the costumes are well done, the sets are perfectly in line with the original series. If I have one thing to say to HBO it would be: DON'T MESS THIS UP. Seriously, just keep doing what you're doing. Don't start injecting derivative storylines in the plot. Don't change a thing. Don't do what GoT did in Season 8. There's plenty of other depressing things in the world that we can turn to if we want our hopes and dreams crushed, thanks.
