So you get friends coming to you to say "you gotta watch GOT, it's amazing!" and not being a TV watcher you ignore them. So you see the series on offer on DVD and you mention it to the wife and low and behold you get it as a present. So you watch it and hope that it is going to be something special. And low and behold you ring up your mates after watching a number of episodes and say "WFT is this shyte?" And then you remember these same "mates" were lollygagging about "Dexter" (which is possibly the worst mistake I have ever made when buying DVD's recommended by "mates". But back to GOT. It is not just that it is going nowhere but, like, Dexter, is it quickly running out of ideas. So far, some kid was murdered by a brother and sister but he doesn't die and wakes up not remember anything. Or does he? Or who cares? And then there is the nudity and sex. Right, it is HBO, and there is nothing wrong with a bit of nudity and sex, but Jaysus, we have watched a few episodes now and the sex business is just there for no reason. No "plot" advancement. No explanation of character. Nothing. Just sex. Alright there is an incest scene but interestingly not graphic and this is the whole premise of the story. As I said we are about 6 or 7 episodes into this shyte, but the story is thin and as of yet we have not had the obligatory lesbian scene (HBO trademark, come to that every Network trademark). Something to look forward to I suppose as there is feck all else. The 2/10 rating is for the character of the midget brother and Sean Bean. This rises it slightly above awful. And for those who will say watch the whole series and then comment I say do I have to? Really, do I have to?
