@wizz I haven't watched it yet but as a more general question.

Did it feel like they are trying (possibly too hard) to create 'the next Game of Thrones'? That's kind of my main concern about the series, that its producers would try to make it into something it's not to recapture the magic of a different blockbuster series.

Not really, no.

They've modernized some of the things in the books, and brought a few of them in line with what we would assume about teenagers in the contemporary era, rather than when it was written, as well as how people just relate to each other in general. But I didn't get any kind of Game of Thrones vibe from it. Except for one big major change right in the beginning, it felt fairly consistent with the source material, and didn't try to riff off of anything else, from what I saw.
