long story short, went to the parents yesterday and my mom mentioned that she had lunch with her best friend the other day and she recommended GoT.

my mom told me that her and my dad were going to start watching it this week.

well, GoT is my favorite show and im not sure how i feel about this.

they are both 63 and semi retired. their favorite shows are breaking bad, mad men, house of cards, and curb.

anyone else have their parents into GoT? what do they think?

My mom is mid 50s and it's her favorite show. Took her awhile to finally just realize it's fantasy but now loves it. She's reading like book 5 now.

I also had to explain a lot to her.

They're adults. They can do whatever they want. Who cares what they watch on tv?

my parents and grandparents watch it.

My grandpa was the first person I knew that got into Breaking Bad.

But they were hippies,

Some things are better unknown. My elderly mother's latest show is Big Bang Theory. That show embodies everything I hate about sitcoms, and it's a real challenge not to say anything.

My mom watches it. I'll watch some episodes with her sometimes. Since I also read the books, I can explain some of the backstory and how things are connecting a little for her. She seems to enjoy it a lot.

My mom comes over every Sunday and watches it with us because she doesn't have HBO and she loves it. It's kind of weird watching it with my mom, but she entertains my 3 year old all day so I deal with it for a day of rest.

My dad thinks it's too boring, but my mom loves it.

My dad was never into movies or shows that did not involve big arse explosions. Unless it's a comedy of course

I like that this is factored into whether or not you think it's a good idea if you're parents watch GoT.

My mom refuses to watch because of the ultraviolence.

They have good taste.

GoT as a book first came out in 1996 when they were in their mid-40's.

I don't see why you would have an issue with this.

My wife's grandfather, almost 90 now, was a diehard Dexter fan during it's heyday.

Yes

I turned them onto it.

Just like I did with breaking bad.

I might be the best son ever.
