Frustrating is the first word that comes to my mind about this season icl.
It is definitely a very good season of television don’t get me wrong but the expectations that I got from S1 and the fact that S3 is atleast two years away (even more perhaps), it’s quite disappointing.
The first 4 episodes were promising and it may have filled me with too high expectations ig.
This season has obviously beautiful visuals, amazing shots and have some brilliant single episodes but I just can’t stop thinking it’s like a half season for me and it’s maybe also due to this format of 8 episodes that I find terrible. It’s a season of build-up and it has its moments though but it’s underwhelming ngl.
The dialogues were great but sometimes they we’re repetitives too and they were some plotlines less interesting at times.
I’m not a crazy of dragons, action and bloodshed not at all, plotting, awesome dialogues and characters development was always one of my favs thing in GOT universe and in works in general, in this season at times it’s very good about that aspects but sometimes it’s not as great as some people claims it to be too.
I actually quite liked for the most part the Harrenhal Daemon plotline but it certainly been dragged on and could have been definitely shorter. Alicent was written badly in most cases, they just don’t knew what to do with her and that’s how I felt about her and for a few characters too. (maybe there’s some spelling problems sry I wrote it as it comes)
Overall S1 is definitely better but it remains a good season of television and I’m still very hype for the upcoming ones even though the wait is gonna be really tough. 😭
