Those new diversity consultants must cost a fortune for studios these days
I'm not sure if the increased cost means they are getting the same as the $6 million back then but they just didn't seem on par at all. I can still see in my head the starting shots of GoT where the camera panned down from a height with Bran climbing, showing a big set and the scale of things and the kings introductions. All so well done as a way of introducing your to characters and memorable. You even got to know what some of them were like from the first 5 minutes. Compared to HotD most of the first episode is forgotten already.
Just seems quite run of the mill and a bit cookie cutter series in comparison. More comparable to maybe Knightfall....but with dragons of course
