I thought the first episode set up some good plotlines and some of the actors look really well cast.
But I'm struggling to get really excited about this. The gore and sex scene felt forced to make it feel like GOT and I really wonder how the show can balance being in that world and doing something new and interesting.
The kings councils, the knight tournament, the maester, hand of the king, adding in a Stark & Baratheon, bigger dragons. All been there, done that; I felt like we were watching a rerun.
I hope they move away from what we've already seen before and give us something new otherwise I'll phase out pretty quick.
