I haven't seen the show, but hear they aged up the characters; that is unquestionably the right choice. Daenerys' age (and Sansa's, towards the end) make a lot of details feel very unnecessarily disgusting. Although I do not feel this was done with any sort of bad motive, it still significantly lowers the rating for me. However, I deeply enjoyed the court intrigue, and the world is fantastic; the world feels massive, deep, and alive, and I like that the magical elements of this medieval fantasy work are more understated and uncommon than you'd normally see.
