The new fantasy series is a messy tangle of plotlines in a world underdeveloped to the point of obscurity

A cartoon about a talking horse, starring the goofy older brother from Arrested Development… on paper little about BoJack Horseman screams “must watch”. Yet the series almost immediately transcended its format to deliver a moving and very funny rumination on depression and middle-age malaise. Will Arnett plays BoJack – one time star of Nineties hit sitcom Horsin’ Around – as a lost soul whose turbo-charged narcissism prevents him getting his life together.

It's nothing like GoT and wasn't made to replace GoT. Get your shit review out of here lmao. Your issue is you're trying to compare the two when the only shared theme is fantasy.

Remember when The Indy didn't spam our Twitter feeds with clickbait headlines? Nope? Me either 🙄

There may still be hope someone would click to watch that before you mentioned GoT at all! You or those producers truly have no idea how disappointed people are...

So witchcraft is all people needs now? Not even slightly interested at all!

There can be only one?

Well, the video game's story is better than how Game of Thrones ended, so there's room for optimism.

yikes, bad take

This review was clearly written by someone who doesn't know what the witcher is. It was on point with the Novels. The Witcher sooo good.

It's really not what I expected. I'm halfway through the first episode, never played a witcher game before, and I'm like: Where is that story headed? Weird how they seem to just throw the story away in dialogs like it's freaking wow quests. 'Go kill 10 rats.'

And Game of Thrones was blatantly filling the Lord of the rings void.

I see John Bercow found a new gig.

No it's not it's the great adaptation of the first novel

Morons so devastated after GoT is done that they would pour shit on anything.

That's good because we did not expect shitty game of thrones.

Someone is offended because there are boobs lol

This is from a book

Omfg, it's a book adaptation, not a game...

Psssst, it's not a game adaptation, and psssst, there is no GoT void, cmon, barely anyone wants to remember now this ever existed.

Piss off independent Thrones and Witcher are two different things. They explore different regions of the same fantasy type as Henry explains here

Who cares, as long as it’s good!

From The Witcher to Carnival Row: Is the battle to bring us a new Game of Thrones a futile quest?As a string of new fantasy shows clamour to replace HBO's epic series, Ed Power explains why these calculated attempts are setting themselves up to fail As long as they leave out season 8. Dead season They'd have to change the last two episodes of the final season bc they short-changed TheGameOfThrones with fast and cheesy ending when it could have been so much more! Even GOT couldn't follow GOT as demonstrated by the appalling S8. The intelligence was sucked from the show. Great creations like Varys and Tyrion seemed to have a lobotomy and the inconsistent behaviour of others betrayed the books. Arya giving up on killing Cersei!!!!!!!

The C64 review – a captivatingly precise replica of the joys of 80s gamingThe Commodore 64 thrilled a generation of gamers in the 80s. Now it’s back (again), warts and all already ordered :-) In the summer of 1983 between O and A Levels I worked for the local council on an archaeological rescue dig on a Roman fort found underneath the Co-Op in Castleford which was being redeveloped. With my earnings (about £300) I bought one of these. A good summer all round I feel my teenage disappointment looking at this!! I had one, but after a few days it's dawned on me that I would never be able to hack into the Pentagon or NASA! I was able to do a line of my name flashing on the screen!. Yep.....!
