Do give it a few episodes. The first two episodes in particular, you won't have any idea what's happening or how these people are connected to each other but this is on purpose and it pays off as you slowly begin to pick up on things over the next 30 episodes of the flashback.
One of the things I found as well is that because we're obviously watching with subtitles, it can be easy to miss some nuances in the terms used, especially in the names and titles, because, much like Tolkien, everyone's got a bunch of names, swords have names, etc. Definitely worth keeping notes to keep track of everyone.
