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 series takes a lot from the viewers, for sure. I really like all the actors as they are very well chosen, especially Jeoffrey and Tyrion. But they are just standing out, others are also perfectly chosen.

The story itself is quite complex and cut down for the series.

At first it might look like it's a fictional setting in the middle ages but there will be more fantasy to come. Obviously you have to like the setting itself and you have to handle multiple characters with deep personality, although to me everyone should at least appreciate the enormous effort spent in this series. I have never seen a series with such detailed scenery before.

As I have also read all the books available until now perhaps my sight is not objective anymore, though. I love the books and so do I love the series.
