I liked it, but didn't love it. I fucking loved the battle episode with the dragons, although I watched most of it behind my hands. Rhaenys death was done brilliantly, as was Aemonds cruelty to his brother. Also loved the dragons choosing their riders.

Overall it was just enjoyable but slow and forgettable. What did you all think?

My biggest complaint is that it was two episodes short. If I recall correctly the show runners were told late into production that they would only have the budget for 8 episodes and not 10. Unfortunately around the same time the writers strike was happening.

So they wrote 10 episodes and they planned for 10 episodes, but they only got 8. As a result the season builds but has no payoff.

Without writers they had no way to try and adjust the season... So they just let it trickle off.

Once season 3 is out the story will even out and be fine, but we're in the unfortunate in-between phase right now.

Ahhhh I see your point. I forgot about the strike, they had what they had.
