Yeah and they they also love closing each episode off on a cliff hanger. Enough to keep the audience wanting more and thinking what will happen next (if you haven't read the books).

I am currently reading the books and I totally agree that the TV adaptation is very closely aligned with what happens in the book but there is always so much more background information that builds up the context from the book.

I think i'll watch this once it starts on showtime (a couple of weeks i think) - I've seen a couple of promos sand a few guys from "The Wire" are in there which has piqued my interest given it's the greatest TV show of all time!

I have no background knowledge of the books it's based on but i think it looks pretty good.

You need not know anything about the books and I guarantee you'll love it. It's done that well it's basically like a really long movie (in quality sense), broken up into 55 minute segments.

The final series is out next Monday so if you wanted, you could just download the entire series at once and watch them all in a row!

Although I really like that heroes don't win all the time, it makes it tough to watch knowing that the POV character you are getting close to as a reader could easily die in the next episode.

Great adaptation

Well he starts as the main character, but this story has many.


There are more deaths to come in the finale ;)
