Got an HBO Now account for the sole purpose of getting into this show. What am I in for?

Is season 1 good or does it take a while to get going?

Watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode and report back. Seriously. It only take 10 minutes and you will be hooked. Doesn't let down after that.

Yes. Don't come back into this thread. Leave now. Too many massive spoilers. Get out of here now.

Don't come back when you want to talk about the show until you are done! Some clown will gleefully spoil the show for you.

You don't even have to wait past episode 1 for it to kick into gear. Now it'll probably take awhile to remember everyone's name and who they are. They throw a lot at you and introduce a lot of different people, and it really doesn't let up until you are at least half way through the season. But using the closed captioning helps a lot with trying to keep up with everyone's name, title, and what house they are from. Also rewatching the first few episodes helps as well.

But it is definitely well worth the investment. How much do you already know about what happens in it? Have you already been spoiled with some of the plot points? If you haven't been spoiled yet, then I'd stay the hell out of this thread because someone will probably spoil something for you.

Yeah, I was into it pretty much immediately in the first episode, but I'm always into these types of genres. Also, it is just a tv show. There's always the danger of it being built up too much.

Avoid any thread until you've caught up. Too many spoilers..

I think S1 was the best. Not my favorite, but the best. Reason being, S1 had no back story for viewers. It immediately grabbed our attention. The following seasons has the benefit of a back story.

Again, not my favorite, but most impressive imo. Can't go into more reasons why without spoilers.

When I first started watching it last year, I had to go to the GOT wiki page that does a recap after every show to get down the names and places.

Yeah. They are all extremely good. Season 1 had a ton of great and iconic moments

I could maybe flip 1 and 3 in my list.
