Pretty much. The show did a very good job at downlaying most fantasy elements until now. I'm pretty fine with having exotic creatures and plants, direwolves, dragons, various humanoids walking around minding their own businesse like the giants or the whitewalkers. They all had their own agenda which was believable. Same with most demonstrations of "magic" most of it was divination (for all we know the Red Witch could make all her shit up) or allucinations. We had some strange stuff like ressucitation or face-changing, but it could very well have been a case of the narrator being over the top (that one guy really did some CPR while the other is good with make-up). Same with the wights, who are the cold equivalent of our zombies. I like sci-fi and imaginary worlds and was ready to accept most of it.
But a kid straight up throwing fireballs at animated skeletons, who disintegrate as soon as they cross a line in the sand? Nope.
Every time someone mentions the gods I try to make a point with how it could be explained with individual abilities being misinterpreted as the will of the gods, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM opened the skies to show deities fighting with ice and flames or something. And I would feel sorry for watching the show.
