I loved Game of Thrones. What made it great was the characters. From the initial show I found each character had a rare dunamic. I didn't find any of the leads compelling in House. And the ingenue resembled a frog. Not in the beauty of the previous series. The storyline appears adequate, but the casting makes a series and I fear this is severely lacking. Perhaps they are seeking a midieval reality, but a bit more Hollywood makes it compelling.
