8/10
Decent start
24 August 2022
I think the show starts really strong with a promising season. However it's not flawless. My main complaints that take 2 stars for me is first the scope of the show. All of the runtime of the first episode is focused only in Kings Landing. And even though i love Kings Landing i liked the world building and the different locations Game of Thrones provided to us from the first episode. It makes the show "bigger" in a sense. My second complain is that in this series i didn't find a single person male or female likeable. Not one. And a show should try to make us care emotionally and root for at least a couple of characters. Game of thrones had dozens from the first episode. House Stark and even Robert were likeable. Now another topic, even though the budget is bigger than Game of thrones at least for the first seasons the show for me at least has weird lightning and cinematography and trust me cinematography is one my favorite things in movies and tv shows. The interiors of Kings Landings like the rooms and chambers have good lighting effects but the outer locations have a bloom, grey filter to them i didn't like at all. Now to the positives. Great writing, acting, pacing, music and intrigue. Looking forward for the next episode.
