I watched the first two episodes. I couldn't take any more.
From what I remember, this is what happens in them:
- Boobs.
- Guy molests his sister, then sells her into sex-slavery to a Barbarian. Also, more boobs.
- Brother-and-sister are caught having sex by a kid, who they push out of a window.
- Kid inevitably survives and wakes up. The world's worst assassin is killed by the kid's mother, in what appears to be a stroke of pure luck.
- A dog gets killed.
- Yet more boobs.
Other than that... there's plenty of walking about by characters I haven't gotten to know or care about, talking about stuff that I don't understand or care about. I don't remember the names of any of the characters, except Joffrey, because he's pretty much the focal point of the second episode. I remember that one of the two brother-sister pairings was called the Lannisters.
The first episode opens with an attack on some random guy by HUGE SUPERNATURAL MONSTERS! That are never seen or mentioned again. And no, I had no idea who the guy was or what his importance was to the plot either. Look, I daresay all of this stuff gets tied together in future episodes... but the first fifty-five minutes of the first two episodes was utter boredom, with something dramatic happening at the very end to set up a cliffhanger (which, again, might work if I had any interest in these characters. I don't - they're all either totally despicable or deadly dull. Again, this might change in future episodes, but I've got no interest in sticking around to see if that happens.)
Look guys, I like boobs as much as the next man, but this just felt like far too much of a slog to get to 'em.
I think this is a program for people willing to devote a great deal more time and patience than I'm willing to do. I think it was done quite well for what it was, but from what I saw of it it's not for me. And honestly, if it hasn't sold me in two entire hours' worth of content, it's probably not going to sell me on the rest either. So I get the "naysayers". I think this might be great if you're willing to put the effort in, but I simply wasn't. I don't have the time for it.
