I don't know if it is GOT withdrawals or what, but I don't understand at all how people are giving this series such high reviews. Yes the music, culture, characters and such have the same GOT feel but the story line has been a borderline snooze fest thus far. What made GOT so great is it was a single series that had 5-6 compelling story lines at any given time - each of which could almost be its own mini series. What character has that appeal in this series? There is only a single story line and it has been a slow burn over the entire season only to setup a "shocking" battle for the Iron Throne.
By all means watch it if you haven't yet, but temper your expectations. I am baffled by the positive reviews about the show, it is really just nonsensical.
