I read a lot. That's why I'm annoyed that I'm not very good in English: as a result, I have not read the book Fire and Blood because it has still not been translated into Finnish. The books of the song of Ice and fire - especially the first three - are better than the series. I don't know if this is the same thing. Because, quite frankly, the series did not make the desired effect. Of course there were a lot of good moments. Directing, filming, effects ... all top -notch. But it felt like the visual world was just filling in addition to endless and useless dialogues. Nothing particularly shocking happened. There was too little intrigue too: the series couldn't surprise you, but overall it was ok as an entertainment. Hope the second season is better.

I say this a second Time but I can't help My self: I have been tapered of many times from opiates and have been in many rehabs and I seen a lot of people in withdrawal symptoms and have a lot of symptoms but coughing is not one of them. In real life, a person who uses heroin becomes so sick that then you can only lie down, you do not chase the bad guys a gun in your hand. The series is great and I watch it for the first time. But it's really annoying when the facts are wrong.

I've been an addict for over 20 years and for over a decade I've been mainly using opioids so I know what the withdrawal symptoms feel. Nose and eyes are bleeding, bones ache, diarrhea, cold and hot at the same time. Even if Jack had slowly dropped the dose, heroin is such a powerful opioid that he would really not be able to do any activity if he has withdrawal symptoms. The series is great but it's annoying when the facts are not right.
