Short summation: The first season is the best, the second is slightly less so, but the third is a scatter shot mess! Do you remember when they used to be able to simulate night scenes in movies, yet you could still see everything that was going on...not so here. If you are among the legion of fans that hated the Game of Thrones episode "The Long Night", you'll hate the third season for the same reason...everything is too dark to see. Fight scenes become nothing more than glints of light and sound effects. After awhile, it just gets tiresome. Add to that a number of flashbacks that eat up time, yet can be covered in a few lines of dialogue, and you have a frustrating experience.
