[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1065541, member: 73592"] TBF - has there been much hype since it actually started? There was a lot of hype beforehand, because it's Amazon, and they're spending a huge amount of money, publicly looking for "Our Game of Thrones" (which this was never, ever going to be), and being based on a t[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]tan of the genre - a dated and bloated t[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]tan that's ripe for significant improvement with judicious editting. What we've ended up with is a lot of promise, that's being let down, partly by executies getting involved (eg, that first episode was storyboarded and filmed as 2 episodes, but had to be reduced to 1 episode in the editting suite), an inexperienced writing team and inexperienced actors. There's a LOT of unhappiness amongst fans of the books - even those who actively wanted changes to the source material, but are getting different changes. TBH, that was always going to happen. There's also a lot of unhappy anti-woke warriors. Beyond that, it seems to be perfectly decent TV, if you can ignore the problems (especially with the first episode). Decent, but no more than that (yet - TBH, the first book was no more than "decent" as well). [/QUOTE]
