I just discovered this series and I am glad I decided to ignore the negative reviews and watch if for myself. No, it's not GOT or Vikings. Both those shows have larger budgets, and less comedy. This show with its budget does have drawbacks with the quality of actors, CGI and some of the writing could improve for a more developed storyline. Despite these drawbacks it did quell my GoT itch, lol, was entertaining and delivered on plenty of action scenes. I think if it hadn't came out during the heyday of GoT it may have faired better.
This show shouldn't be compared to GoT, a more accurate comparison level would be Merlin but why compare at all. You have to learn to take what you need and leave the rest, you can suck the joy out of life and entertainment constantly comparing. Give it a try and by episode 3 you will want to finish the season.
