After five episodes, I would say the show is not for you. In fact, after the first two episodes, I think people have a decent predictor of their interest in future episodes. No point in wasting your time watching the next five episodes.
HOWEVER, this is assuming you thoroughly watched those first few episodes. You're going to have to invest a fairly substantial amount of concentration into this series, particularly the first few episodes since they introduce all the important characters. I personally recommend you not to watch the next five episodes, but rather watch the first 2-3 episodes again. Make sure you understand what's happening in each scene, who all the significant characters are and how they relate to each other, etc. Absorb everything. I personally had to watch the first episodes about three times.
Ater investing sufficient concentration into the first 2-3 episodes, you will probably have a decent indicator of your interests. At which point, you should make your choice. Everyone I know who loved GoT also enjoyed the first few episodes. And those who didn't enjoy the first few episodes also didn't enjoy the series.
I should add that the second half of the first season does have infinitely more major events happening. Take that for what its worth. If you're interested, you may want to continue the season just to see if those major events excite your interests. However, even if those major events excite you, while you didn't enjoy the first few episodes, then I still think you should give up; because if you don't like relatively slow moving stories, then Game of Thrones is not for you.
Slightly related anecdote: everyone I know who dislikes GoT also has a mild-to-moderate form of ADHD. Make of that what you will.
