Now the first 2 episodes of season 5 online and I must say, if you had not read the books, one would say for sure without reservation that these 2 episodes are outstanding again.
Unfortunately, the producers have now been removed for my taste too far from the books. Basic things like the election of the new Lord Commander are, has been dealt with almost tersely. It is the same with the return Drogons to Daenerys, with Bronn and his fiancée, Jamie and especially Brienne of Tarth searching for Sansa.
I want to now do not talk the series bad, but for all those who have almost absorbed the books and could see over the previous error of the series in terms of the book, should possibly 5 Watch with a lower expectation the season, as the previous seasons. Nevertheless, it is still having one of the best series out there currently.
I personally expect from now on, however, no longer all too much of the series, because I know the real story from the books. For these traveling a lot more under the spell.
