Beautiful visuals. Terrible writing. Why is everyone so flat and inspid with occasional bursts of random hysterics? Why are their interactions and motivations so unbelievable? Laughable attempts at gravitas, romance and humour. Jared Harris looks like a thespian in a high school play acted out by actors who have maybe an 80% understanding of what their character should be and are trying to make them vaguely interesting through melodrama. Changes to the source material in the books aside, this series is giving me such weird B-flick vibes in execution despite its impressive CGI budget.
