I have never seen “Game of Thrones” - many others here probably have not, too.

Can you fill us in on the details? what was it like?

Well, as I said, i only watched one episode. It was a mythical, northern European style world, that seemed to take place during this mythical world’s version of the dark Ages, with castles and clans and kings and so on. The production values, costumes, dialogue, etc were excellent, but the sex and violence turned me off. One episode was enough for me, So I really am not the one to ask.

Medieval fantasy world with little magic (although it's making a comeback). There are a bunch of kingdoms on a continent that's supposed to be about the size of South America, except the that North is "arctic" and the south is tropical. There is one King to rule over all the kingdoms ever since the entire continent was conquered hundreds of years ago around the time of the "last" of the dragons.

In the first book, which came out in the 90s, there are two knights, one the younger brother of the King and the other a son of another royal house, who have a relationship which is hinted at. The only reference or two I can recall can be written off as a put-down between soldiers.

The show went all out with the relationship, although nothing was explicitly shown in the first season, but the implicit was clear enough.

Most of the adult-to-middle-aged female characters have appeared in various stages of undress, if not totally naked, usually just prior, after or during sex scenes. There have been a few males butts and at least two cases of full-frontal make nudity (once post-sex and once by a prisoner condemned to death).

Lots of violence and death -- don't get fond of any particular character. They aren't written out randomly, but sometimes it does seem that way.
