They are doing a GREAT job with this show.
Yeah I'm really happy with it, as well.
It is missing some of the sarcasm/humor of GoT but maybe we'll get some of that once we finish setting the stage and get all the chess pieces in place, who knows.
Daemon seems like an obvious source for that.
I think a lot of people who anticipated that Paddy would be a bad choice for Viserys may not have known what a terrific actor he really is, and I think he's been spot-on for Viserys. I like the fact that he's not a great king due to his temperament, but that doesn't mean he's a fool, either. He's a wise man but no stomach for the ruthlessness that's sometimes necessary to rule.
The show takes itself seriously and even when they get a little far fetched, such as Daemon's assault on the island in the Step Stones it didn't really detract from my enjoyment.
