Picks up where GOT
Where GOT finished on a rushed anticlimax, HOTD has continued in the same downward spiral .
There are no complex characters, no humour, no interwoven plot lines ,no sense of an end game, none of elements that made GOT such a compelling are present in HOTD.
Matt Smith really tries to impose himself as the bad guy and stands out in every scene he's in, Paddy Consedine is also excellent, Rhys Ifans isn't given nearly enough screen time
The females characters in GOT were strong & multi layered , but here they are bereft of any real substance, and that's no fault of the actress's, it's just poor writing.
Overall it is basically an extremely expensive ,badly lit soap opera.
I wanted to love it ,but I just can't I'm afraid.
GOT was steeped in legends and the prequel really should of explored where those legends came from, the white walkers,the wall, the tree with the face,where did the dragons come from and was there really magic in those days.
That would of been an outstanding series.
Oh well.
