Wrong cast, slow and boring story, poor direction!!!
17 January 2024
It's a lame attempt to create something similar to GoT. And yes people are going to compare HoTD with GoT. I think HBO wanted to earn after GoT ended so they rushed for this one!!

What's wrong with the casting director? I know beauty is subjective but they should cast main characters a little bit more attractive and not unconventional looking. They acted well!! All actors no doubt about it and we cannot forget as well that looks matter when it comes to visual medium and honestly they failed or I would say people couldn't connect with the characters!!

And WHY??

Because of poor direction and screenplay!! Say whatever about David Benioff and D. B. Weiss but they were able to maintain a good and gripping story throughout 8 seasons regardless of brainless ending and unnecessary s*x scenes!! People connected with the characters and the story was captivating and exciting from first episode. In GoT the choice of directors was good!! HoTD directors just copy and pasted GoT!!

And obviously the story is boring and writing/screenplay is poor!!

Some actors were really god. The actor who played 'Viserys I' did a great job especially the old age part!! Olivia Cooke is my favourite so I am biased!!

I hope second season will be good!! GoT was original that's why it had a global reach!! Few movies or series can create this magic!!
