I loved the first episode of the third season. Looking forward for the rest.  I am actually enjoying it as much, if not more, then Game of Thrones.  The don't have the budget, but it is a great tale.

 

Season 2 had some seriously dull moments in the middle.  but this new start of adventure for season 3 looks great.

Great final episode.  I am really enjoying this show, just as much (in a different way) as Game of Thrones.

(considering that they don't have no where near the budget to make it look so good as GoT)

 

 

 

season 2 was a bit weak and long winded in my opinion, but this season was great, and reading up on season 4 i am pretty excited where the show is going.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.
