I really tried to enjoy the first series but four episodes in it was just a chore to watch and I didn’t know what was going on or care about any of the characters. It just couldn’t keep my interest.

I read only 30% of people who watched the first series completed it and it’s the reason we now have ads in Prime. They signed a contract to do three series of it.

Haha! Well FWIW I enjoyed it enough to tune into this next season. It felt like a slow burn that should be building up to something interesting if Amazon took any fan feedback into account.

Im curious, did you watch season 2 of HoTD? I had fun with with both RoP and HotD season 1, but the second season of the House was so mind numbingly boring we had trouble finishing it. Not to mention the underwhelming finale.
