@EddieJennings no spoliers, still on season 1, watching with the girlfriend

@DustinB3403 0% spoiler. You've probably already met Daenerys.
-
@EddieJennings yeah, just don't know names.
-
@DustinB3403 That's the only one you need to know.

I have zero interested in watching that show. I also have no interest in reading the books. So there is that.
-
@JaredBusch probably the best show ever...
-
Really looking forward to this weeks Silicon Valley..

Nope. Not ever. I am quite familiar with the author and the premise of the books. I read a decent sample of book one years and years ago and said nope.
I am an avid reader of the sci/fi and fantasy genres, with a library of ~1000 physical books, but I do not like that series.

I was interested. Tried the books. They were horrible. I couldn't finish the first one. Never seen the show. But have accidentally been to several of their filming locations.

I gave it a good shake, made it about half way and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

I think that the show is only popular because of the nudity.

Nah, I know a number of people that have been fans of the series for years before it became a TV show.
It is not a horrible series, but it is not my style either.
-
Never touched the books though some in my office are always way ahead of the series because they are fans.
I don't think it's the nudity.
Another good show is History channel Vikings, more realistic.

What would you put above Game of Thrones? I don't agree in a general sense but it may be a good opportunity to find some great material
-
Supernatural, A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is the best adaptation of a book series to a show I've ever seen. NPH is PERFECT as Count Olaf!!! And a couple others too.

I'm reading the books first. On the second one so far. Haven't read as much in the last week or two.

I honestly have trouble figuring out why the show is as popular as it is. Fun to watch as a reader of the books but context is seriously light on the ground in the show.
I had a coworker who was super into the show at like 2-3 seasons in and didn't know the names of 1/2 the characters. Which I totally understand. They are in such a rush to hit the major points they barely let you get to know anyone.
