For an HBO mini-series production, it's damn good. As a fan of the books, I have my quibbles with some of the adaptation - but overall they've done a remarkable job. I thought the weakest scenes so far involved the Tournament. First, the City Guard captain begs for help due to the massive influx of people. Next we cut to the Tournament, and it looks like there were a few hundred people watching max. The Cal Drogo stuff comes across a bit weak as well.
The second book has over 1,200 pages and contains epic battles. That will be a challenge on HBO's budget (they're not New Line Cinema). I've heard they may break it out into 2 seasons.
