Review of Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials

Haven't read the books, haven't played the game. When the series was released I wasn't trilled and could have missed it because I read some not stellar reviews. After the first episode I saw the potential of the series. This episode got me totally hooked.The fantasy elements are top notch, the script is fascinating, the directing is on spot. The content is delivered raw, it required the viewer to concentrate and figure out how the different elements connect. The fantasy world has its unique atmosphere (though there are many recognizable elements from other fantasy worlds). And this episode just get the pieces together. It really started on the previous episode, but now it's much clearer. Can't wait to watch the next one!
