I only watched the entire first episode because it was at a get-together of friends, it had no appeal to me whatsoever. It's carefully manufactured trash for the dull witted masses.

Be that it may, what's depicted in GOT is pretty much par for the course throughout history (War of the Roses comes to mind, any numbers of Chinese dynasties, Ottoman and Byzantine empires, no doubt repleted with beheading and castration aplenty. More modern examples would be War of Austrian Succession, War of Spanish Succession, and Franco-Prussian War)
without the dragons, of course. |

I can't imagine having such an uneducated worldview. I don't watch the show, but it takes someone seriously ignorant of history to not realize mindless violence is a part of humanity.

There's a reason why Martin condenses a lot of striking examples happening over hundreds of years into everyday events in a small timeframe: the vast majority of life in the Middle Ages (including warfare) was relatively tedious and boring. http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/137363/kelly-devries/game-of-thrones-as-history |

I want to see the little Stark girl turn into a mass murderer with the Hound and then see the dragon girl riding her dragon nude while burning the seven kingdoms to the ground. I set my DVD to record every episode on the free HBO weekend Game of Thrones marathon. I then watched the first 3 seasons non-stop. I'd never seen it before.

One of the ER docs told me the books were great. So, like a dimwit, I bought all 4 on my kindle.
I forced myself to read them because I paid for them. But they were just depressing. Well written? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. Disturbing and depressing? Absolutely. I would never watch the series. I am too busy repressing the memories of the book. |

I'm sure the left and right both hate it because it shows how manipulative politicians really are...
Brilliant show though. I'll RARELY watch a show like this, but GoT sucked me in and hasn't let go. As soon as I saw an episode I watched the first three seasons then read all of the books. Quoted:

I think most of the people here complaining about this reviewer didn't actually read the whole article.
I watched a few episodes, because everybody told me to. To be truthful, the only thing that really caught me was the intro. But then, I don't like the fantasy genre at all. Adding boobs and excessive violence doesn't really change that for me.
