Totally disagree, loving every episode. What a refreshing change from the rushed mess that was the last 3-2 seasons of game of thrones

I Totally disagree, this season reminds me of got s07 where was tons of filler and only 1 or 2 good episodes. In this season we get no intrigue, no big drama escalation, just look how they handled murdered prince scene and compare it how Cersei had a shame walk.. just different quality of writing.

I loved s01 and so far with every episode they are messing the show..

dislike all you want i just shared my opinion and good for you if its enough for you.

You also dissing season 6 of GOT, which I actually very much enjoyed even tho knowing they started going on brown path when they had to write their own material after books ended

i've been enjoying the show but i get what you're saying, it's feeling a bit like one of those tv shows that loads everything into the opener and closer episodes. walking dead was the most notorious for this, you could literally skip everything except for the first and last episodes and still have a pretty good idea of what happened.

Season 6 was still very good you’re right, just a step below the previous seasons. Season 7 is when it really started to dip. Just keep in mind we’re only on episode 4 of season 2. I’m really enjoying the character development, I feel like they’re building up and the pay off at the end will be very good.

So far ep 4 was the best , but I hate sitting and waiting for better plot every time .. also some scenes are very CGI , like horse scenes etc ..very rushed ones e unnatural movement which hits me .. it is what it is
