    I struggled to get through the first season, and right when I started to think I might like one or two characters, they recast them. It didn’t keep my interest, and I probably won’t watch any more of it. I’m not one to give up on shows like this, I usually power through them and find something to like. But I have no interest in GRRM’s world anymore.

    I’m someone who read ASOIAF voraciously as they came out, went to one of GRRM’s lectures, met and chatted with him while he signed my book, and just generally was in love with his world-building. I’m done now. No more disappointment for me.

      I actually really liked season 1 which made season 2 a bigger disappointment. At some point my wife and I were able to joke and predict when “sad funeral” scene was about to happen for some character you didn’t give a shit about because they were a background blip.
