Honestly, I don’t think I’m gonna watch the rest of the show after seeing episode 1. Or maybe I will once it’s over but I doubt I’ll enjoy it. If episode 1 is what it’s gonna be like for the rest of the season, I’m honestly not that interested.
As much as B&C is horrific and probably way too dark for television (altho considering some of the fucked up things they did in GOT I have my own doubts), the way they played it out in the episode was horrible and underwhelming and it was obviously written in a way to make you sympathetic for the Black faction while invalidating a real trauma for the Greens.
This whole show has rewritten both factions to a point where most characters are unrecognizable from the source material or even MISSING is absurd.
I love the actors, and I really want to support them for their amazing performances, but it’s honestly so painful to watch such originally complex and interesting characters be stripped of what made them interesting in the narrative in the first place. Sure the show is still a tragedy, but it’s not the same tragedy that I’ve come to understand it was supposed to be.
And if that’s how it’s gonna continue to be, with biased writing that makes it clear the show runners have no care or understanding of the themes of the source material, then I don’t want it.
I’ll stick to fan fiction, thank you very much.
