You need to watch some better TV.

It's an ok show with interesting ideas but no stakes whatsoever because no one can actually die. Not that there needs to be life or death involved for a show to be good, but it's weird to see a story with so much violence but no death. I'm going to finish out the season because it's HBo and they've built up a certain amount of creative credit where I'll watch pretty much anything they do. But unless this show gets real good by the end of season one -- and I mean something more than the the repetitive story crutches we've been watching for four episodes --- I can't see it being the "Game of Thrones" replacement HBO is trying to build.
