Had a lot of fun, great season. One of the best shows I have seen this year. Not close to as good as Seasons 1-6 of GOT, but better than the second half of 7 and 8.

A few criticisms I had for it:

• Some moments felt like simply trying to be 'on-brand' to GOT, but GOT had much more restraint with how it depicted wanton violence. Random lords and knights killing each other, and two going at it in front of the princess at court are just not believable for me.

• Many of the moments that were going for spectacle fell flat for me, such as the ends of Episode 3 and Episode 9.

• At times, I found the characterization a bit inconsistent, but that may well be a byproduct of the time skips.

• The world was nice but to me at last it didn't feel as lived in and organic as it does in Thrones whenever we ventured out of the Red Keep.
