I will probably piss off all my nerd friends but here goes… Winter is coming!
I saw the first episode, first season. Although I have binge watched good TV (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals) like consuming candy bars, it was really hard to get in to, and because I am a very obsessive person, I am very careful what I let myself glom on to.
The zinger obviously at the end of the episode was OMFG <<SPOILER ALERT>>> incest and kid gets pushed off wall… but in hindsight take out that shock and the show was unwatchable for me at least. Like music, the program needs to grab me by the lapels on first watch. I got the feeling that my time with the show would be spent waiting for the next morbid sick moments to pop up, like a rubbernecker at a car accident.
I am glad there is fantasy porn out there and more power to you if you are a fan. And I would take this any day over a Disney production. But I have seen enough real life darkness to not want to watch it as entertainment. If you have room in your life for that, more power to you!
