BTW, you can tell if they're going to be boobies with the parental warning at the preface ... if it says nudity, there's boobies! Very occasional scrotums - mostly boobies.
If you like warm fuzzy stuff - definitely not your thing. BUT, that said (cuz I do like warm fuzzy stuff), if you like amazing acting, writing and story and top notch CGI, GOT is awesomeness on a stick with a dragon (or 3) on top!
I think last season was darker than most and slow - this season had a few "quiet episodes", but that all went away last night!
Last night's battle was more intense than Saving Private Ryan's opening scene - even though you know it's not real and this is fantasy lore - it certainly made one look at middle ages war and weapons in a whole new dark light.
When we first started watching it was via Netflix DVDs ... we inhaled 2 DVDs worth of episodes each time and then stalked the mailman!
It lives up to the hype!

freebird Yes and no. There's ton of violence like Spartacus, but many more plot lines. To me Spartacus was like mindless entertainment and eye candy. I have to really concentrate and not multi-task while watching GOT. And then go back and rewind after I read threads on here to pick up what I missed. As far as time periods, I think Spartacus was much earlier in history. I sure miss seeing Gannicus...

You don't "have" to watch it but it's a great show. I binge watched the first 5 seasons and I wouldn't recommending binge watching this show. I needed a shower, therapy, and a hug when I finished.
