I think if I get to the point where I'm not happy with a show because a pregnant woman runs too fast I'll stop watching TV. It's almost like people are trying to find reasons not to like things before the story has really begun.

If it’s not going to be Game of Thrones, it should stop using the Game of Thrones theme song.
Look, the problem isn’t that it’s “not game of thrones”.
The problem is it’s boring.
What’s your favourite line?
Who’s your favourite character?
What story thread are you enjoying?
If you were recommending this to a friend who’d never seen any of the preceding story, what would you tell them?
And knowing that the first five episodes contain a pregnant woman begging for her life before a fatal c-section and a romance between blood relatives that culminates with an encounter in a brothel, does that impact who you recommend it to?
The complaints about pregnant women not moving fast bely a larger issue - the tension in that scene is entirely the result of the audience knowing “this is a show that kills babies and pregnant women - I don’t want to see that. Please don’t make me see that. Oh thank god that didn’t happen. Wow, wasn’t that intense?”
No. That wasn’t intense. It was manipulative, and gross.
Which is Westeros for you.
