Enjoyed it. It does suffer from a lack of scale. Most scenes are just two or three people talking. There are very few scenes of crowds of even small groups. Think of the tourney scene in episode 1, it feels small and remote compared to the same scene in GOT’s first season.

Part of this is that the book is written as a history of one family’s rule, so it naturally focuses on them. Part of it was covid restrictions I’m sure. It’s probably impossible to get 100 extras in costume crowded together, so they do it with editing and CGI.

All in all that’s a small complaint though, excited for season 2.
