I lost any interest in it with the recast. I am sure the new actors do a great job but in the moment it completely killed my immersion as I had grown attached to the original actors. For example, I remember each ep mentioning to my GF how much I loved the queens actress and thought she was such a sweet character. When the recast happened in ep 3? 4? We were so confused that I had to pause and walk around and Google if it was temporary or permanent. The new queen has a totally different disposition and face and just... idk. We just straight up changed to something else and said we could come back to it later. I still haven’t gone back to it.

To play devil's advocate.
I felt the same way. But after watching the rest, they wanted that from the characters. They are supposed to be different people. They wanted to show you that the characters had changed. With that in mind, I think they did a great job, and it's a point in entertainment history that will be remembered better than it was received on release. The actors did a great job and the story brought me right back in.
Give it a shot.
