This ladies and gentlemen is how spinoff shows are done! Like Better Call Saul, it's all about taking things in a different direction while also maintaining the true spirit of the original show. This was a very tough act to follow, given the legacy of GOT, but it definitely did not miss a beat. The high points for me were the switch to a more centralized focus, instead of jumping from place to place, story to story like GOT. Also this season covers a lot of territory in 11 episodes, often jumping ahead years in time, which gives it a more lean feel overall. There's no throw away or pump the brakes episodes here. I do agree with the previous reviewer here that it didn't quite have the same level of iconic characters as GOT, which had an endless list of those. Not sure I agree that was necessarily the fault of casting, but moreso the characters themselves. Anyways, I can't recommend this series enough for GOT fans, and can't wait to see where it goes in subsequent seasons.
