Over the last several weeks, I started this series in an attempt to get ready for the upcoming fourth season. I had held off because I read the first book and thought it masterful, but I haven't read the others.
I finally decided to just watch the series.
It is truly amazing. Fantastic writing, directing, acting. It's one of the best things I've ever seen on television. I'm a big fan of Babylon 5. GoT is better. I'm a huge fan of Firefly. GoT is better. I'm an enormous fan of the new Battlestar Galactica. GoT is better.
Right now, it's one of my top two series. GoT and True Detective. Followed by Vikings, then Californication.
I can't say enough about GoT. It just blows me away.
