Game of Thrones (2011)

Well, two thumbs up for the nudity, that holds my interests...honestly. I'm not ashamed to say it.

And the acting was good.

But I have a problem with fantasy. World building, world building, world building, world building, and that is coupled with gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, and, by the time it gets around to the thick, juicy, meat of the plot...it lost me.

I really don't care about the world building, I'd rather jump right in to the plot and not deal with the nonsense. Oh, they have wolves that aren't exactly wolves... I don't care. They have dragons, that's cool but... too much time was spent about why they are so rare and... I don't care, they have dragons, they are rare, just stop the world building and go back to the murder and intrigue.

I honestly preferred Rome, Deadwood, the Sopranos, all the other shows that didn't have to sacrifice so much to world building.
