I really had high hopes for Game of Thrones and I'm giving it a shot but for the production quality (it's beautiful) I'm disappointed so far (I never read the books). It's draggy, the story needs to pick up. It's like they're so proud of how great it looks they don't want to clutter up the scenery with dialogue
On the other hand I thought Starz doing Camelot was stupid and boy was I wrong there. Excellent so far, really enjoyable.
i don't find it draggy at all. i think the whole thing between the starks and the lannisters is pretty enthralling. plot twists like the incest thing between them, throwing the boy off etc then trying to kill him again. that's pretty crazy
besides, almost all shows start off with character development. it's only the third episode.
