Game of Thrones, an HBO television show based on the book series “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R. R. Martin, is the show everyone on your Facebook feed screams about whenever there’s a wedding.
Haven’t read the books (yet), but the show is quite spectacular. One of my friends recommended it to me around 3 months ago, and I binge watched the 4 seasons in around 2 weeks :P. Now I’m really looking forward to Season 5. Also, Arya & Tyrion FTW!
I read the first book over the course of a weekend back in 2013. I’ve been making my through the second in bursts since then, and started watching the show as well; currently about halfway through Clash Of Kings and two episodes into Season 2.
Honestly kinda started losing my love for it a while ago, but Season 8 definitely cemented the disappointment. I’m still interested in seeing how the books turn out, since it sounds like the direction the show went is different from what GRRM has in mind, but even then there’s plenty of room for them to end badly as well.
I will admit that since Dany is my favorite character, that may be at least part of the reason for my distaste with S8, but there are definitely lots of problems with it even outside of the forced villainization of the Breaker Of Chains.
