acting is quality. Cara is superb, Vignette, an icon. Orlando excellent in character. All support actors faultless. Writing is quality. Sub plots riveting. criticism of over-writing and too many plots not valid. Just watched last episode, season 1. Oh dear !!! Rather shocked. Sadly writing failed to deliver, wasn't expecting this. Lady Macbeth created the giant octopus. Philo is the pauper prince. Lannister sibling lust. Puck lust needed a little more foreplay. Moves from A grade to B grade quite quickly. A grand show, lost in the failed art of sustaining good writing for the finale. actors less convincing in this episode. Lost connection. Same as when Danerys became Hitler & Jon Snow had to kill her. Silly. Unbelievable. Never rush an ending. Tolkien, Rowling, Dickens, the Bard, true masters.
