When it first started on Sky, I took the opportunity to watch a series called Game Of Thrones. About 20 minutes in, and I was bored. I had no interest. I stopped it, deleted it off the planner and didn't think about it again.
I heard good reviews. It rapidly grew in popularity, it became a "water cooler" series. It didn't bother me, I had plenty to watch.
Then a few weeks ago, Sky started advertising the brand new season three episodes of Game Of Thrones, with seasons one and two available on Anytime. The adverts looked pretty good, and a bunch of people I knew were going on about the forthcoming new episodes. I thought it might be time to give it another go.
I downloaded the first five episodes, and settled down to watch a series that I really wasn't sure I would like.
I should have waited, I should have persisted. Then I wouldn't need to catch up with two seasons. I was so wrong.
Well written, well acted, intricate plots, entwined lives, decapitation, pouring molten gold over someones head for a crown, incest, murder and intrigue. What more could you actually want in a series?
How did I get it so wrong? I plan on starting season two shortly, probably Friday, and be through that in a couple of nights. My only remaining decision is do I wait until season three finishes, then watch it over a couple of nights, or do I crack on and have a catch up to watch it weekly, I have 10 episodes to decide.
