I have never wanted to watch it just as I never wanted to watch Breaking Bad but my good lady wife persisted and I watched it over about a month. What a load of shite.
Breaking Bad was actually very good. It's a character study, similar to Scarface but over many series. It's a slow starter but from series three onwards, it's A+.
Game Of Thrones.
It's like a rapey Harry Potter with even more plot holes.
In general, I don't get fantasy or adults that like fantasy either.
