I’m guessing you’re talking about The Witcher since Mandalorian is only half an hour long.

Yea, except for the beginning the first episode wasn’t the best and I’m sure it helps a lot to be a big fan of the books/games. But it still bothers me that the Witcher, especially in the first episodes, only seem like a side character in the bigger story. Just walking around in the forrest doing small errands for the nearby villages. ::roll eyes::

Overall the best part of both shows are the visuals, with Mandalorian being the most impressive but with the weakest story and too many fillers.

Yep, I'm talking about the Witcher. I see it was 1h1m long. And I'm not familiar with the books/games.

Just as a comparison, Game of Thrones first ep grabbed my attention right away and didn't seem contrived to me. I was unfamiliar with GOT. Maybe tough comparison, but same concept. I just don't think Witcher rooted itself well enough.

The opening scene of the fight with monster... dropping the sword, can't reach it, then reaches it... very, very contrived, and much too much time to do it. Still, the ending fight with the woman and her band is much more interesting and dynamic. Just not well rooted story in 1st ep. I'll probably watch the 2nd ep with the recommendations, but if as rough, I don't know. ::big grin::

So, what do you think of Game of Thrones?

Why not?

I saw a few episodes of this show people have been banging on about since season 2 just dropped. Called "You". Which is...basically about something of a stalker. Interesting how things are told in his perspective.
It's watchable enough.
I don't really get the rampant fandom I've been seeing, to me, while I'll continue watching it, and I find it interesting, it's just "ok".
Main guy lookin' like Henry Cavil and Anton Yelchin facefucked.

I'd say...I dunno...6/10? Maybe 6.5?
It's kind of funny.

That's too bad.

The 2nd ep of Witcher was much better. Where the hunch-back girl gets training. Actress did a great job. Very GOT-like. The Witcher-side of the story was not that good... a bit like a bad Supernatural ep.

I just think the story was really bad. Especially episode 3, which was just ridiculous and a complete turn off.

1. episode was by far the best.
Appreciated the Hammer style, the effects and the acting was fine.

The Witcher is just not a very interesting character in the first half of the season because he’s so irrelevant to the main Game of Thrones story.
