I really enjoyed it. I haven’t read the source material and don’t know how faithful to it it was, but the show holds up very well on its own. Looking forward for Season 2!
I had written off the IP after thrones ended so poorly and I haven't read the source material for this show, so I didn't go into season one with very high expectations. It blew me away, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to season two.
Only reason I gave it a chance was that the source material was complete and considered well written, and having read it after season 1 I can confirm show should be in good place. Even if it isn't I don't care, since unlike Game of Thrones the source material is actually available.
