      I'm watching Game of Thrones

      I have zero interested in watching that show. I also have no interest in reading the books. So there is that.

      I was interested. Tried the books. They were horrible. I couldn't finish the first one. Never seen the show. But have accidentally been to several of their filming locations.

        Yeah, as my follow up post said, I tried the first book.

          I gave it a good shake, made it about half way and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

            I think that the show is only popular because of the nudity.

              Nah, I know a number of people that have been fans of the series for years before it became a TV show.

              It is not a horrible series, but it is not my style either.

                Never touched the books though some in my office are always way ahead of the series because they are fans.

                I don't think it's the nudity.

                Another good show is History channel Vikings, more realistic.

                  @JaredBusch probably the best show ever...

                  Nope. Not ever. I am quite familiar with the author and the premise of the books. I read a decent sample of book one years and years ago and said nope.

                  I am an avid reader of the sci/fi and fantasy genres, with a library of ~1000 physical books, but I do not like that series.

                  What would you put above Game of Thrones? I don't agree in a general sense but it may be a good opportunity to find some great material

                    Supernatural, A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is the best adaptation of a book series to a show I've ever seen. NPH is PERFECT as Count Olaf!!! And a couple others too.

                      I'm reading the books first. On the second one so far. Haven't read as much in the last week or two.

                        I honestly have trouble figuring out why the show is as popular as it is. Fun to watch as a reader of the books but context is seriously light on the ground in the show.

                        I had a coworker who was super into the show at like 2-3 seasons in and didn't know the names of 1/2 the characters. Which I totally understand. They are in such a rush to hit the major points they barely let you get to know anyone.

                          @dafyre I read most of them through Audible years ago. Roy Dotrice does an excellent job reading them.

                              I've made it up to season 4 of Supernatural, to episode 15. I'm going to have to get the next couple seasons ready on my Plex box soon. It will be a sad day when I get to the end of the full seasons, though I do have Iron Fist on deck, and I'll need to catch up on Agents of Shield (I'm always a season behind).

                              I canceled my DirecTV subscription. Just not using it....

                                  Mixed reviews. It was also the most binge-watched show when they released it.

                                    Same Marvel formula. Confused, but powerful, main character goes to fight evil. Finds out what he believes is wrong. Sort of. There's a betrayal of some kind. Then a twist. And there is someone you just hate.

                                    On the plus side Faramir is the villain.

                                      We've yet to start Season 12 of Supernatural yet. Also need to catch Grimm Season 5 and 6.

                                        What was so awesome about it? Why did the internet love it so much?
