An enormous amount happened in the first half of Season 1, and yet it is considerably slower than the rest of the series (like the opening of every show ever).
I can't really speak to the experience of being a new show watcher, since I read books 1-5 before I started watching, but at least give it until the end of the first season before you give up.
