Start off by saying I never read the book(s) that this series was based on, so I dont know how they compare and I didnt know anything about the plot. I just picked it up about... 3 days ago, I think. Watched 1 episode and I was hooked. I havent even played many games in the past few days simply because this series caught me up that badly!

For those not in the know, its a TV series based on some fantasy novels. It follows the story of a land of 7 kingdoms which is in turmoil, with a single throne to rule over these 7 kingdoms supposedly, and of course there are all sorts of politics and battles over the throne, intricacies, backstabbing, conniving, scheming, plotting... yeah, that kind of silly stuff in courts. But it also includes bloody battles, duels, dragons and zombies... Seriously. It even has lots of drinking and nudity and titties, gay relationships... though actually, the nudity and whoring and sexual focus of it all kind of just makes me roll my eyes and wish the scene ends quickly, as pretty much all sex scenes do.

And, come on, Boromir is one of the main characters! well, Sean Bean, but I refer to him as Boromir anyways.

All in all, though, I recommend it! Fully!
