Last series yes, this series no. I know quite a few people who watch it who havent read the books, and they're well confused about this series, as am I. Introducing new characters with little explanation to who they are is always a bad move.
Im glad its not just me then
I really enjoyed the last series but I am finding it difficult to remember who is who and whats going on, there is just so much happemning.
Its starting to become one of those series that you already have to know what is going to happen so that you can enjoy it
