It may have been interesting to readers of the books but to people being introduced to this for the first time, it was a great big yawn.
Episode 1: Well, this is interesting, hope the pace picks up
Episode 2: This is awesome!
Episode 3: Yawn

As was mentioned, wife and I have not read the books but ep. 3 was not boring at all. Backstories were fleshed out, characters were further developed, foreshadowing of winter was further enhanced. All elements necessary to convey a complex set of concurrent plot lines in brief one hour bursts instead of four complete books. I assume without this type of episode early on much that happens later would be meaningless or would slip by altogether.
