I love it. I definitely think you should watch it. Though I find the parts with gore very hard to watch since I hate blood&guts type of stuff. You should at least watch the first three episodes and see how you feel. Then decide if you want to watch more (:

I absolutely love Daenerys Targaryen's parts :p

I've read the first book and I really liked it. A lot of "evil plotting" was going there and I loved that XD I will definitely read the rest of the books when I have some time and then watch the TV series. My brother on the other hand hasn't read the books yet but watches the show and he likes it a lot.

Snortmort, if you didn't like "Game of Thrones" then I think you should never try watching "Spartacus" TV series. Even I couldn't stand it.

I find it especially disturbing how like rarity said, people are 'desensitized' to these things. Our society at large has no issue with blatant sexuality, violence, perversion, swearing. I fear for the generation coming up now....

I don't think it's as bad as people think with this whole "desensitization". I'm capable of watching gore movies or play violent video games. I enjoy that stuff and yet in real life I can't even kill a small bug because I feel bad for him. Movies are movies and life is life :)

Anyway, if you like well-written stories with lots of suspense, intrigue and great characters (especially female ones) then you will probably like "Game of Thrones".
And 3 seasons to catch up aren't that bad. I personally prefer to have more episodes to watch at once. I'm impatient.

I believe there's some good and bad aspects about desensitization. For one, my generation and the one's further to come will have more acceptance for homosexuals and bisexuals. I'm not implying that yours and anyone else's is wrong, not at all. I'm saying that we are growing up being told it's socially acceptable to be attracted to the same sex.

Our society's morals are always changing (for good or for worse) and in comparison to say 400 years ago, slavery and caste systems were considered the social norm. The thing I like about GOT a lot is that it gives a very realistic view on the living conditions for that time.

I believe no one can argue that our society today is better than the one's of previously because there is no correct society. I'm very open to change, but I don't doubt that in the next 20 years I will start judging the younger generation and their choices, too.
