I develop a liking of watching HBO Series since True Blood. Sadly, they are not being aired in the Philippines. And so, thanks to the internet, I was able to see it by download.
Currently airing is Game of Thrones, an adaptation of the novel by George RR Martin. Honestly, I have never heard of the book and so I am not really familiar with its story line. But base on what I have heard with the critics, it was really well-made and is reaping good reviews.
Personally, I really like the opening credits and the music. It reminded of the younger days in school when we made diorama and other art stuff. Here’s a storyline taken from imdb.com :
Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. The dominant families are the Houses Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the throne. The friction between these clans, and with the remaining great Houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, and Tyrell, leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest North. Amidst war and the political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the icy horrors beyond.

It was a story full of politics, intrigues and sex. I am not really familiar and not particular how true it was to the book but I think I really don’t care at all. I am being entertained and I like it and that’s all I care.
