on the other hand...i kind of get it since I have never gotten into Lost and I missed the boat on that...well that and Arrested Development (everytime i watch an episode I get bored)...and The Office
If it aint for you it aint for you but I would give it a chance

most will probably hate it tho...
but my wife kept trying to get me to watch it and I had no desire. I walked in on her screaming at the wedding scene and once I watched how real that shit was I all in.
It may not be that episode but I would suggest watching an episode with a lot of action and if it keeps you awake you make be motivated to see how it was all set up.
edit: it may also be better to watch with someone. I tend to fall asleep when I watch it by myself and its a slow episode.

So - no. I tried to watch an episode and couldn't get through it. It didn't hold my interest bc I don't do fantasy or period pieces. That shit is both.

But I *get* that its good, I just have a problem with the whole Tolkien medieval thing

I would just check out the major episodes then - Red Wedding, Mountain and the Viper, Battle of the Bastards, Blackwater. Basically episode 9 of each season and the season finale
14. "It ain't really that tolkien tho" In response to Reply # 7
Maybe 5%. The rest of it is titties, blood and politics. The reason why the books were so critically acclaimed was as opposed to cute hobbits and scary orcs is just basically humans being shitty to each other...the way it is in real life.

Funny thing is I was trying to think of anything even remotely black people related and dragons to make a funny and I drew a blank; it truly is white people shit
>Funny thing is I was trying to think of anything even >remotely black people related and dragons to make a funny and >I drew a blank; it truly is white people shit
and i don't recommend it to many there are a lot of obstacles on this there is easier and other tv i'm actually surprised folks got on board and suffered through the previous two seasons i was here because i knew this past season would be out faster than the books and knew it wa a build up and they would at least solve had the shit he left up in the air in a ham fisted way but i'll take it!!!
but its a lot to sit through if you aren't into the genre at all

9. "i also bailed on the 1st ep 3 times" In response to Reply # 0
bc who can tell all them scruffy wypipo apart and the crazy names didn't help
but its kinda like if 2-3 seasons of the wire (the city politics, the street battles/maneuvering), walking dead, braveheart, and some other shtt was all happening in one season
and they add enough titties and murder to help u thru it
and I also dislike all medieval era, lord of the rings or robin of Nottingham stories. but GoT is lit

11. "The ending of the first episode is what kept me watching" In response to Reply # 0
Been hooked ever since. I remember watching it on demand just when the first season ended. Started first episode in the morning and didn't even leave the house because I kept wanting to see what happened next. Since then I've read all the books. That's how good it is to me.
I'd say give the first few a shot, it gets very entertaining.

It didn't come together for me until like midway through. Then it becomes a crazy roller coaster that it hard to look away from.
Stick through it, use the wiki alot when you get confused on characters and houses, and it will end up in your top 10 dramas.

24. "you gotta give it a full season before you decide" In response to Reply # 0
like 3-4 episodes, regardless of if you like dragons or whatever aint enough it be so much shit goin on and season 1 is pretty much the weakest season cuz it's just setting up all the other crazy shit you gon see ----- No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. (c) HL Mencken or some other motherfucker.
I was never a fan of fantasy. Not a fan of Lord Of The Rings, but this is different. The magic and fantasy elements of the series are secondary. They become increasingly more important, but its FAAAAAR from a series about dragons.
The books are much better than the show though.

were checking your phone and doing other distracting shit?
I just ask because it does actually take some mental investment and concentration to "get it" because it jumps around so much. For example before everyone knew True Detective was going to be the shit, I had the first couple episodes on while I was being distracted and thought it was the most boring shit ever, then I watched it and was like, fuck!
