Never have or been remotely interested in it.

Anyone else?

 

It's friggin epic. Just the lighting and ochre/gold accents alone are worth watching it for.

 

Same here never seen it , trying to find some one with box set for 1st series to watch

 

It is easily the best TV series for a long time .. never a dull episode and this lady

 

The cliched responses so far confirm my thoughts. I suspect it will become the new Lost.

 

You don't know what you're missing, T1TS n dragons for starters

 

Watched one episode and it was as dull as ditchwater..... however colleagues rave about about it constantly.... go figure!

 

Never watched it no interest

 

Some will get it...

 

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

 

Sadly though, Daenerys' storyline is dull as ditchwater. She may turn out to be one of the story's bigger villains but this is only a theory at the moment.

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.

 

The one program where they will kill off main characters without notice leaving you shocked.....and then showing you **** too....

 

Yep me.

 

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

 

Good god Ramsay is pure TV gold. Can't wait to see who runs him through.

 

Its the best thing on TV at the moment! I just hope they dont drag out the storylines too much.

 

Perhaps if I had more time on my hands I would watch it.

 

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?


dl

 

Nope. I hear that you can get it on Sky as a box set, though.

I haven't watched it, either. I hear that it's very good.

 

Sounds like GOT

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.

 

If it's just about sex and gory violence then I'll give it a miss. I like stuff like House of Cards, Homeland and Breaking Bad. I haven't found one programmes since, which could compete with them.

Did watch Bates Motel. It was alright.

 

...and language



TBH the plot is quite expansive but I mostly like it for the lighting, scenery and sets.

 

 

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

 

yeah, think the UK post Brexit

 

Oh, ok.


LOL Hodgy!

 

Uncle Gove and Boristrano

An interesting analogy - For me LofR was ****e , but The Sopranos was the best TV series ever.
