Game of Thrones

Game of thrones is a hugely popular TV series produced by HBO. It is based on George R.R. Martins fictional series 'a song of ice and fire' which spans seven books (only 5 of which have been published.) the first season was based on the first book - hence the title 'game of thrones'. This means that each book gets around 10 hours of film time, allowing for a more comprehensive adaptation than a film would ( such as the harry potter series ).

This means that the series is incredibly complex and engaging, two traits which make for a successful TV show . Unfortunately ( or fortunately if you are patient) for HBO to keep up this level of detail ( and to allow Martin to finish writing the last books ) they have decided to split the third book into two series. Having read the books i have to side with HBO (even if they are just doing it for the money.)

If you haven't watched or heard of Game of Thrones, I highly suggest that you check it out. :)
