This is a segment on my blog I like to call You Gotta Watch This! It showcases TV shows I'm feeling at the moment, and since there's a new episode on tonight, what better way to kick off the segment than the HBO phenomenon that is Game of Thrones?
What can be said about this show that hasn't already been said? The storyline is intriguing and unpredictable, the characters are unique, though they may die without warning (not saying who, no spoilers!) and the acting is done to a degree of believability worthy of the big screen. Thankfully, it's not up there because this show, based off the series of novels of the same name, has far too many details to cut it down from a season of episodes each an hour long into a movie that would be about two hours total. This isn't a run-of-the-mill fantasy show, either, where very few can understand. There may be a lot going on, but the pace by which everything happens is just so that it can be followed quite easily, leaving the viewers on the edge of their seats, and probably the reason why it's HBO's biggest show since The Sopranos.
Bottom line, the show is gripping, it's unpredictable, and that's what makes the show so good. If you've never seen it, the trailer to the first season is above, and bottom line, YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!
