It's crazy to see the review swings both on here and IMDB. You'll see one review thats a 9/10 or 10/10 and they say LOVED IT! and the very next review is 1/10 with HATED IT. It just goes to show the passion for the books and the series as a whole.
Listen folks, i'm not sure what you all were expecting. At the end of the day this is just a tv series that requires a LOT of cg/special effects so the budget is absolutely appalling for any studio to produce. In my mind they did a very good job overall so far, and although there's some inconsistencies in the story, I feel a lot of people read way way too into this stuff. Just sit back and enjoy the series.
The biggest concern I have is if there's enough bashing, let me tell you something. Amazon gives zero shits, they will just cancel the series and it will be done. I think as a community we need to recognize this is most certainly good enough to enjoy, and we should be supportive of what they are making. My wife who's a non-book reader loves it so far, so I think overall we're in good shape as a whole.
Anyway, I get all your passion, and its easy to nit pick certain things in the series (like the dragon can be a man or woman....WHAT?!?!?!?), but pfft, just enjoy the fact that you get to watch your childhood series come to life in your lifetime. I know I am!
Personally, i'm about a 8/10 so far. It's far from perfect, but SO COOL to see this come to life! ?
Thanks! Dont take this the wrong way, not bashing your views if you are negative on it. I just recommend you keep your negativity to the boards, and publicly keep supporting the series. It's the only shot we have because noone is going to re-do this in our lifetime, that I can promise.
How did the show hold up for you?
