Incredibly mean spirited and bleak...
And this is from a Game of Thrones fan, ha.
I just finished the second episode and am wondering why I should continue. And yes, I understand how it was back in medieval times, I've been into the time period since I was a child. But this is also supposed to be entertainment. I like my dark and dreary as much as the next guy, but there should be some relief and not scene after scene after scene after scene of innocent people getting killed left and right... or a woman getting raped and then molested by a relative in the very next scene... and then another woman has her father attempt rape her, gets traded off for a cow and then accepts rape from a man so she has a chance to take his knife and kill him... and there's this wacky woman killing family members just so her son can climb up the corporate ladder....and now one of the few beloved characters gets killed at the end of Episode 2.
What's the point of all this? Watching all the characters going through an abattoir?
