Just wondering what people here thought...
I loved Game of Thrones mostly - didn't even hate season 8, although was certainly ready for it to finish up.
This though feels very much like being served up a reheated version of what we've seen before - a story which may be set a couple of hundred years earlier with different characters but essentially is set in the same world with the same type of characters.
Still watchable enough though - but rather over indulgent. Spending £16m an episode on a series in these current times just feels vulgar and unneccessary and I think the show would benefit far more from being on a tighter budget with the script having to do the work rather than relying on CGI and stunts.
