Binge watched watched this and enjoyed it. Full disclosure: haven't read the books or played the games.

-1 star for difficult to follow timeline. It took me at least 2 episodes to realize the time line wasn't linear. I feel like directors/writers could have done more to make the story fit together more seamlessly.

-1 star for CGI work that was sub par. Dragons were particularly bad. Budget is a constraint but many engines are available now for license at an acceptable cost.

-1 star for gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. I'm a fan of the human form as much as anyone; however much was completely unnecessary and did nothing to further the story. In my opinion it simply shows a lack of creativity.

Story, acting, cinematography, script, are all entertaining and quite well done. My only other complaint would be that it was often difficult to comprehend the spoken lines and I'd have to turn on subtitles.

BLUF: Entertaining and we'll worth a watch. Recommended. Waiting for season 2 with high hopes.
