Spoilers, obvs.

I liked it, but didn't love it. I fucking loved the battle episode with the dragons, although I watched most of it behind my hands. Rhaenys death was done brilliantly, as was Aemonds cruelty to his brother. Also loved the dragons choosing their riders.

Overall it was just enjoyable but slow and forgettable. What did you all think?

Huge fan of the books and I really liked it. Love seeing Matt Smith in anything.

Felt like they couldn've done a better job with the killing of the Aegon's little baby, fo such a shocking a fucked up thing. Maybe if we'd spent more time with the kids and the mother it would've hit harder.

Yes, much the same here. Forgettable is, disappointingly, the key word.

I'll carry on watching, but largely in hope that it improves rather than for actual enjoyment as it is.

My issues with S2 is the plot barely moved and we’re basically back to square one where S1 ended. Sure they needed to set up some stuff, but you don’t need an entire season just for that. S1’s pacing was better.

It was a typical season 2 for a show where season 1 was well liked.

In other words, it is trash.

Watchable for effects and because we cared in the first season, but by the end we no longer care.

The Last of Us season 2 is similar- I just watched it and the producer should be ashamed. Season 1 was the best television in years: Season 2 is trash.

I loved s1 TLOU its one of the greatest tv seasons ever made. I chose to not watch s2 because the 2nd game plot isn't for me. Did you play the games at all?
