Stupid show for stupid people.
Which is a truly stupid response.
Point of fact: I know I am smart, and I like the show very much.
Ergo, your crude argument is flawed
The show is good. Anyone who follows it with some consistency [probably] won't dispute that. It is a TV show with great actors and a near-commercial movie budget backing it, to say nothing of the good story.
Other shows have their perks; e.g., Adonis' favorite "Hell On Wheels." I love that show, too. And "True Detective" is, IMNSHO, without rival
for what it is.
But when I initiated this thread, GoT ran without competition from HoW, TD or the Walter White show, which was beyond awesome in its own right.
