I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this isn't a troll topic.

You talk about how it's like "reading half a book and then finishing it until the end"; except that it's not. You watched six episodes of a season that, while excellent in its own right, is in many respects mere exposition to the excellence of later seasons. Here are some trends in the show, however, that never change:

-a slow, methodical pace
-driven by character drama over plot drama
-lots and lots of characters and relationships to remember

If these things prevent you from enjoying what is universally regarded (even in this topic, except for yourself!) as an amazing piece of television, then I suppose it's your right not to continue.

I'd also recommend looking into Michael Bay's Complete Works.


I love character drama/relationships. I just dont think 13 hour long episodes of "exposition" is "BEST TV SHOW EVER" worthy. in fact, I'd go as far as to say it makes it one of the worst.
