I put off watching Game of Thrones for years as I presumed it was Downton Abbey with swords, I was wrong.

All seasons bar season 5 were damn good!
Show has some great characters like Tyrion who is funny as hell and some characters like Joff and Ramsay who are complete kunts and you pray will die in some horrendous manner!
If you do not watch it, then it is your loss. It is Lord or the Rings crossed with The Sopranos

To be very unkind to it, any scene without Peter Dinklage in it (The dwarf) is just a filler between Peter Dinklage scenes.
Having said that, with any long running series it has it's ups and downs but overall it is very good TV.
The current season is great because, I suspect, it's a season or two close to finishing and they've realised they need to move everyone's story forward to actually get to the end.
As an alternative, I'd suggest Vikings - although even that has had a poor 4th season compared to the others.

GOT passed me by for years too
in fact I though it was a video game for ages
the mention of "Lost" is an interesting one
I did not watch any of it - people where raving about it constantly
then it seemed that same people got pissed of with it - as it dragged on with ever increasingly implausible plot lines
almost as if the shows producers saw it as a cynical way to keep the cash cow going !!!
I predicted it would all end "in a dream"
TBH I felt the same way about The Walking Dead, pretty good - then just got fvcking annoying and I stopped watching it
that said I did watch GOT (up to last season) and though it was very good, still not up there with the Sopranos but not bad

I bought The Sopranos box set recently and that will keep me busy for a few weeks! Not something you would want your mum to watch. Mafia stuff basically violence, killing, corruption, sex and money with a great script. The language is unbelievable.
Never started Thrones - is it on Netflix?

Must admit, didn't watch it when it started as too much other stuff on.
However was persuaded to look at it a week or so ago and have just completed season 3 - compulsive viewing

I don't think people realise how graphic/obscene GOT is before watching it, it's brutal.
Not your run of the mill Sword and Sandal drama.

It's much more than that, but it just illustrates, graphically, what an essentially medieval world with no morals would be like.
