A failed attempt to create magic like lord of the rings. Very slow story story building and lots of lots of talk.
Bright side of show is Acting, downside of the show is story telling..
They spend so much time giving depth in a character which kills the actual story.
I would have appreciated if they has shown the glimpse of first battle or some clips of city which got abandoned and darkness took over the city.. between darkness and dragon rather than just monologues.
Monologue approach work best for novels as reader imagine things and that's what make story interesting for reader but monologues in a series ....just kill the buzz. I have not read any of book just writing review on based on series watching experience.
A person with great patience can only enjoy the show.
