Si Targaryen wrote:I love GoT / ASoI&F, and I'd say it was a lot more accesible to non fantasy fans than say Lord of the Rings. I would describe it more as medieval politics with fantasy elements. That said, I can fully see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
Definitely this - I've watched the first two seasons, and while I do like some fantasy, e.g. Harry Potter, I find stuff like LotR too complex for me to follow. For whatever reason though, I've had no problem understanding GoT, despite its complexities.
I do see why people don't like it though. I know about as many people who couldn't get into it as people who love it. I need to get around to watching more of it when I can find the time - watched the first two seasons in about a week last summer
I don't even usually get drawn in by TV programmes






The only thing I'm not that into are the few violent/bloody scenes. Thankfully, I haven't seen many so far.

But yeah, fantasy, uh... Skyrim is great. I've wanted that game for years and just got it last month and I understand the hype now. LOL
