Title: Great story, terrible adaptation
Product review: I've read the books, and mostly like the story as it unfolds with great depth and detail. I couldn't wait to watch it brought to visual life, and was hoping it would be adapted as well as Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. But I've watched a couple of episodes, and I just don't like it. Confusing direction, uninspiring acting, with only tiny glimmers of the strength of GRRM's writing coming through. I suspect it would be difficult for an intelligent viewer to understand (or care about) the paper-thin characters portrayed in these videos without having read the books. There's a really good story in the books, buy those instead.
