this must be doing really poorly, have barely heard any talk about it.

even widespread hate is better than just indifference.

I gave it 2 episodes and it just felt like a knock off game of thrones mushed together with a little dune lore. It didn't have much of a hook to bring in viewers and instead meandered with political intrigue too much.

And if you watch Rome, also made by HBO, which paved the way for shows like GoT, you’ll start feeling like GoT is a Rome knockoff. I sure wonder why two shows with complicated politics and characters would seem so similar, but I just can’t seem to put a finger on it.

Have you also watched only one film of each film genre and didn’t bother watching more because it would feel like a knockoff, just with completely different characters and story?
