A few years back a fellow GetBigger recommended that I read THE GAME OF THRONES.
The first chapter got me hooked and I've been a fan ever since and I eventually dove into the TV series which I found to be even more fascinating than the book.
What surprised me about the whole damn series is that the heros seldom win and some real bad shit happens to one in particular which could never be discussed in mixed and polite circles such as this GetBig Board in particular.
The only thing I dislike about this series is that there are too damn many characters with confusing names and I have a problem recalling who is whom and the results of the ensuing family feuds.
Not too many TV watchers dislike this series and it has won numerous awards over the years it has been on TV.
I have only met one of the principal actors in this production and I have to admit that the did a good job before the script killed him off.
I doubt that any avid GetBiggers have watched DOWNTON ABBEY, but it is another TV series that has gained my attention due to its historical background and how the aristocrats used to live in Great Britain and the changes that occurred after WW1.
Maggie Smith's portrayal as the DUCHESS is some of the best acting I'v ever watched.
Great job, Maggie Smith!
I gotta end this by saying that it is an amazing thing to watch a good friend become a different person entirely. I see this on numerous occasions at family gatherings and it always fascinates me
especially when the 'actor' is only 6.
