If you’re looking for a sober treatise on duty to kingdom and family and the mechanics of primogeniture — something more like “Game of Thrones” in its first season, before it leaned into the spectacle and the budgets got astronomical — you’re in luck.
Kind of a stupid review. It’s bad because it’s most similar to the best season of GoT?
Totally lost interest in Barry in the middle of season 3 and never bothered to finish it and don’t think I will. Season 1 was pretty amazing but it seemed to lose sheen slowly but surely after that.
I’m gonna try to avoid got 2 spoilers and binge the full season in a few months, but ofc I read the wiki summaries already and hopefully they don’t follow all of that so I didn’t spoiler myself on a few key events. Or maybe I’ll forget.
Source material is finished but pretty sparse so lots of work for team to do. I think the source material is about 100 pages. So the major plot points are all set out, but you don’t have nearly the depth of dialogue, etc. that you had for the first 4/5 seasons of GOT.
