After watching season 1 and now 3 episodes of season 2 I honestly may just stop watching. The writers on this show are doing very poorly weaving the intricacies of this story. The spend more time with dramatic scenes filled with sorrow that stretch across episodes instead of moving the story forward. Then, when something major happens (very few and far between) I wonder, "who was that?" Or "what was the significance of that line?" But I know very clearly that this character feels sad about a still born baby, or that this character visits a brothel that has, dare I say, explicit sex happening. It so clear the writers do not know how to tell this story in a way that is interesting to the viewers and fans of GoT. They focus more on feelings then substance. So done with this one. HBO should put it on the scrap heap and move on....oh, but they can't...there is literally no other show to watch.

Season 1 was nearly unbearable, but I stuck with it because everyone said it was worth it to get to season 2. It is near constant chaos caused by immature, unbelievable drama. Most plot milestones are unbelievable in the worst way and there isn't one character that I like, let alone care about. The pinaccle of season 1, the big reveal, was as unrelatable and unbelievable as the rest of the season. Just stupid, but I made it through all the irritation to the promised land of season 2, only to find the first two episodes to be even more annoying than all of season 1. Underneath all the chaos that was featured in season 1, they do their best to amp up the drama by playing lyrical music while people are talking. Again, unbearable. The yelling, cursing, fighting, and forced drama are all tactics to cover up for weak writing. Just horrible.

Terribly disappointing. Very loose connections through episodes, no logical building to the plot, odd elements introduced late in the season just add drama without purpose. Very weak writing, covered up by decent acting, production, and soundtrack. The show had promise in episode one, but the writing didn't capitalize on the conflict that inspired the audience's interest in the first place. Instead, the writers tried to infuse new, disconnected drama one every episode with statements and dialogue that was completely out of left field and didn't make any sense. "I'm very wealthy from being so busy building my potted plant business that someone wants to buy for 12 million dollars so I am sad and depressed." What?? When you write stories...you can't just say anything you want. It needs to make sense or the grandiosity is just lazy. WHY did this show win ANYTHING at the GGs?

Amanda Seyfried is amazing. Very well done character development, and a great story.

The movie on the whole was dreary and slow, but by far, the music was painful and ruined the movie.

DC, Please stop making movies. This movie is just pointless silliness. Don't care about any of the characters or the plot. Wait...was there a plot?

Way too many story lines to follow, too intricate, slow, boring, not scary at all. I don't know what happened because Hill House was fun! This was a big snooze. Two stars for the acting but I am taking one away for the very obviously fake and weak english accents.
