Hard to say after just one season, but it's probably the best show on TV right now.

Agree but Homeland is pretty good too.

I think Breaking Bad might be the only show I'd put above it. But if you only compare first seasons, Game of Thrones blows it away. And as long as it doesn't implode, it should only get better. From what I hear the books only get better from here. And HBO loves the show and they're throwing money and full support behind it. I think by season four it'll be in all time contention. But maybe I'm just excited,

War Stannis.

It just does nothing for me and almost seems over done. Each to their own I guess.

I love this show.

For me, best show on TV, hands down.

Books 2-3 are good. 4 is a bit slow

It's a solid series, but the characters he chose to focus on and develop are underwhelming. Tyrion is basically the only one of the main characters that's interesting, although he's improved Jaime's character lately as well. The Hound is probably the coolest character in the entire series IMO, and he's basically relegated to bit part status so far (trying to avoid potential SPOILERS)......

I'm hoping Sandor isn't dead and actually is the big gravedigger Brienne sees at the Quiet Isle and that he makes some sort of comeback in future books.

I wouldn't mind if HBO takes some liberties from the books as they move forward, for the reasons you mentioned. I was a little dissappointed when I finally finished the series.

I think the Bastard John Snow is my favorite character.

There's supposed to be another book coming out still after the 5th, so maybe he'll tie things up. I haven't even started the 5th, so I don't know what happens. Haven't watched the show either except one random episode, although I've heard good things of course.

It's as well done as the Carnivale.

Not a bad 1st episode. The season is going to be great.

I think despite not much happening other than showing where the characters are, this was the best episode yet. You can really see how much better the production values are, and how it looks so much better due to being filmed on location moreso this season.

The HBO brass are putting their full support behind the show. They say they'll keep making it as long as there's books to adapt. They may start splitting books into two seasons each, though.
