That was....not good.
I figured with Sapochnik directing and them really needing to try to win back some capital with the fan base, we'd get something interesting. We did not. And the guy playing Viserys is just a really bad actor. |

They continued to miss what’s important. There were no Sean Bean killer performances, no magnetic Mark Addy banter, no Dinklage wit. Daemon was interesting. Aema was compelling. The rest they missed on. I think some of it was trying to be stoic (see Sean Bean), but it wasn’t good. Thats not to say it is a disaster. The whole birthing bed is our battlefield and the. The intercut birth with savage knight competition was damned good television. And the funeral scene carried weight. But there is an interesting enough world they have access to and hopefully grab hold of they’ll get some rope. |

10M viewers for the first episode. On par with much of the S7 and S8 viewership numbers for GoT pre-pandemic, which is pretty impressive.
It certainly looks like this will be HBO's next powerhouse show. |

viserys is a total pussy
rooting for daemon the medieval c-section was disturbing, even for GoT |

I thought it was pretty good. Started a little "meh" but by the end, I was fully sucked in. Had most of the usual GOT elements. Liked how the music paid homage to the original, especially during the ending credits.

Big GOT fan, never read any of the books. Completely underwhelmed by the first episode.
Dragons/CGI were weak. Acting not very strong and character development was poor. If you are going to have that c-section scene it would help if there was a little emotional investment in the king and queen. |

Who gives a shit about the quality, were there any good memes? S1 of GOT had the peak of GOT memes with Robert Baratheon.

man I would hate to be some of you guys, way too critical about a tv show. Its supposed to be entertaining if you're not entertained don't watch it.

Some people in this thread overall are way way more negative than I've seen in other places. The scene with the medieval C-section interspersed with the violence in the tournament will eventually be viewed as a classic moment. |
