During the first two seasons of Game of Thrones I fell in love with the show, feeling it to be perhaps the finest on-screen fantasy I'd ever seen. Along the way I started reading the books and was even more blown away. So perhaps the books have spoiled me, but starting with season 3 of the TV series I feel Game of Thrones has gone gradually downhill. It has become more and more of a soap opera, less and less of an epic fantasy. It is a grand, gorgeous, and often exciting soap opera! But nonetheless a soap opera. The series still scores high marks from me in many areas. The acting, much of the directing, set & costume design (of course!), and music are still superb. But the story and characters are slowly losing my interest. It's a shame.
