The setting and the story is unique. You get emotionally attached to characters quickly. The show is fast paced with a few unexpected plot twists. Although the premise of the show is very different, it reminds me of the early days of Lost when I couldn’t wait for the next episode. There are very few shows on TV this good.
You should watch Game Of Thrones because it’s like Lord Of The Rings except for super R-rated sex and violence, there is only one hobbit, and boobies.Lots. Of. Boobies. Everywhere.
You should watch Game of Thrones because it will get you laid. Now, I know what you must be thinking. “HOW CAN I GET LAID USING THIS SERIES???!!?!” Well I will let you know, these movies/books are essentially just porn. With a good story. Thats about it. Screw 50 shades of grey. You want your biddy to go at you? Game of Thrones is where its at.
Game of Thrones must be watched. The artistic and moving filmography takes you on a medieval rollercoaster full of power, betrayal, and old century war. The actors give the viewer a passenger seat view that to me is truly breathtaking and Dragons just add to the ever compounding stories of the olden days.
Well to start off the quality of a midevil era show it is great very belivable well as belivable dragons dwarves and magic is. Also if your into seeing nudity then your in for a hoot there is a bunch aswell as a ton of epic fights and battles. The diffrent factions are intresting by themselves. The whole culture is amazing and well once again a bunch of nudity.
Why would you watch Game of Thrones? It has an attractive lady with draconic babies! It has a badass dwarven character (medical, not fantasy)! It has a throne made of the blades of the Kingdom’s fallen foes! It is pure fictional fantasy being pumped directly into your being through your face holes!
While there are a myriad of reasons for anyone to watch (Dragons, White Walkers, Knights, sex, giant battles, magic, etc), there is one truly awesome reason to watch, and that would be The Batman of dwarves, Tyrion Lannister. He is by and far the best character on the show. He is a dwarf, but does not let that stop him from kicking ass. He is one of (if not the) smartest characters on the show, and has proven time and again that he is a master strategician. Honestly, I’d watch the show if is was just about him. He’s that good! If you don’t believe me just give the show a try, and even if he doesn’t float your boat there are so many other rich characters with great story lines that you shall be entertained!
Game of Thrones should be watched because it breaks the typical formula of who is hero and who is villian, and the forumla that the good guy always wins. Major characters can die at any time and no one is safe. The twists in the story will excite you, and it takes a look at our deep down savage nature when it comes to attaining great power. I think the “swords and boards” backdrop lends to this savagry too. Plus it gave birth to the term “sexposition”, and there’s certainly no lack of sex. Game of Thrones is the best thing going on TV.
What?! You’ve never watched Game of Thrones? Are you serious?! OK, everybody mentions Tyrion Lannister and while I agree he’s awesome, what about Joffrey Baratheon? Trust me, he is the character you will love to hate from Season 1 onwards. His family tree becomes a shocking plot point and Joffrey’s interactions with Sansa Stark and Tyrion are a must see.
With a deft hand Martin has created a complicated world that is so steeped in politics and power struggles that you forget it is a fantasy until it hits you over the head with it. Each chapter of the book or scene of the show leaves you changing your mind of just who your favorite characters are- they are that well written. The strength of the actors (the young and seasoned alike), the epic sets, the landscapes, the very feel of it is like nothing else on television. Settle into your comfy chair and block out a few hours to watch the series because just one is too few, and winter is coming.
the dragons, but you gotta wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and then you see…. no wait and then you see some dragons and then you wait till season 2 cause season 1 just ended. They showed a dragon quicker then “the killing” showed a killer. so theres that.
You should watch it because it has everything you could possibly want in a tv series . Sex, violence, drama , humor, great sets, amazing acting , beautiful custumes, stunning acting, and tons of nudity. Plus an amazing little girl actress that will break your heart then steal it! Winter is coming you better watch!
