Excellent start to the series. It's been a long 3 years since the end of Game of Thrones. Excited for this new season that takes place 172 years before the start of Game of Thrones. The first episode is at precise timing. It didn't drag on (no pun intended), but it was perfectly executed. Great acting all around by all cast. The actors selected are great, of course. Matt a smith is perfect at Deamon and Patty an weak but honorable king Targaryen. The first episode is very Well-written, concise, and entertaining. Excited to be back in the realm of Game of Thrones.
