Ladies,

I just started the Game of Thrones TV series, because I heard so many great things about it.
I watched the first 5 episodes or so and nothing really happened!

+++TINY SPOILER ALERT+++

A child was kicked out of a window, some guys are protecting 'The Wall' and a SHITLOAD of characters were introduced.
Every family is weird in one way or the other or has at least one weirdo. The main-character moved from North to South to serve the king and quite a few people are having sex with each other or random prostitutes.

--> When will this be a enjoyable TV Series? Did you feel the same when you start watching it?

Maybe I am spoiled, because I just watched The Walking Dead season 2 and 3. And I watched Sherlock Season 1 & 2 as well. I loved those and I really liked Lord of the Rings so I thought this will be just as good, but after 5 hours of watching GoT, NOTHING happened.

The Walking Dead has like 4-5 notable characters. It's boring seeing them in the same old prison/farm/camp for an entire season.

GoT's has like 8-10 notable characters and takes place over many locations. The first few episodes are setting up a huge seasonal 1 climax that will be shocking if you havent read spoilers.

Walking Dead really falls off after season 2. Game of Thrones keeps getting better IMO and has a lot more "holy shit" moments. 

hype, it just isn't that good. not saying its bad but story wise its slow

there is only 10 episodes. I think you will not regret

OP: There is no hope for you.

If you don't enjoy it after five episodes; you likely won't enjoy the series as a whole at any rate.

Are we getting on the fanboy-level for TV series as well? (I AM NOT CALLING HIM A FANBOY, RELAX MODS!)

I thought that the transformation of the characters in The Walking Dead was quite entertaining. And I never got tired of anyone of them.

Can you please tell me, what happened in the past hours that I failed to grasp?
I am serious, because I will keep watching and don't want to read things up later. Thank you.

its about as good as rome

If you're not into by the end of the first episode then it's just not for you. Game of Thrones is one of the best shows on television, but it's not for everyone. It's a political show with a lot of death, sex, incest, and violence. The fantasy aspect doesn't come into play until much later. Season 1 is largely about the bad blood between the Starks and the Lannisters. If their conflict doesn't interest you then you're not going to get any enjoyment out of the series.

Because it is really bad.

If you're still not feeling it after episode 5 I think the show isnt for you.
