It's difficult to critique a show like this when you know all the twist and turns before they happen as a lot of suspense is taken away. It seems the people that didn't know the story before hand really like it such as my wife for example so I think mission accomplished for HBO. The show did feel a little accelerated but in an era where too many shows rely on filler episodes to fill out a season I don't really have a problem with a show getting right to the point. I'm interested in seeing where they go with the next season as the 2nd game IMO is too dark, depressing, and mean spirited to follow as closely as it may turn off some viewers as it did gamers.
