A lot of complaints in here about how the villains are too well rounded and not straight evil enough.
I thought the pacing and storytelling in the first season was great. They did a great job of showing how a stable kingdom breaks down into madness, without any single person being responsible.
As Hack&Lube stated, the show is based on a book, which is multiple retellings, from various perspectives, of a historical conflict. One that from an outsiders perspective involved a single family needlessly fighting over power, only to end up back at square one, and destroying most of Westeros in the process.
