The show looks better too than GOT or HOD. Actual white armor for the kingsguard

I enjoyed how they show Dunk’s inner monologue from the novella with the quick cut flashbacks.

That said I assume much like GOT and HOD once they the showrunner decides (or is forced to) to start leaving GRRM’s written work it drop significantly in quality. Although supposedly GRRM gave 12 unpublished novellas to Parker.

Sadly I assume we’ll never Winds.

I agree with CHSS although I deplore acronyms*

Maybe it's got a narrow appeal, but it works for me.

The show is a vibe. I don't know how to describe it, and superficial comparisons - like Euphoria mixed with Succession - don't really capture what's going on.

The thing that really caught my attention, beyond Marisa Abela's hotness, was Rishi's background chatter on the trade floor. That level of vulgarity delivered with a British accent was just made for me. The show also burns through plot quickly and makes big changes from season to season, so it's not boring. There are a couple of big trading scenes in first 2 seasons that are really exciting, as strange as that sounds. Or maybe I just drink too much HBO Kool aid.

American vulgarity is also good. Thus my love for Veep and Silicon Valley.

By then I didn't care about any of the characters or their work, so I bailed.

just a bunch of douchey 20-somethings getting drunk, stoned, and fucking all the time

And I don't care about watching people monitor and trade stocks, so when they did focus on the "work" it was boring.

it just looks like another "terrible people scratch and claw to get ahead" show, and I could not care less about that particular genre of storytelling

I thought the pacing was better this episode. Literal lol during the scene where dunk & egg were talking before the tug of war.

I hope the rest of the tournament scenes are that intense.

I’m such a dork I’m sitting there like “There’s a Tully, a Lannister, a Baratheon, a Hightower…”

Solid A.

Literal lol when the GoT theme song started playing and it cut to him shitting

A few deviations from the book so far, but still good.

The two leads are spot on so far.
