The premiere debuted at 9 p.m. EST, and many problems were reportedly fixed just an hour later, but social media was still filled with complaints, as fans yearned to hear the fallout from the infamous "Red Wedding" climax of series three.
I'm outraged about @HBOGO. Someone else's parents pay good money for HBO and I expect to be able to watch what I want when I want.
