Orphan Black is mind blowing. Completely different shows, but you might want to check it out. Tatiana Maslany is a badass actress.

Just finished season 2 today and can't wait for season 3. Season 1 was great, but season 2 was mind blowing

Very true, but from a marketing standpoint it's probably great for the show that they got snubbed again. It's bringing a lot of good attention to the show and Tatiana. More so than being nominated and winning would have brought.

Suppose that you cannot possibly imagine anything more uninteresting than a mythical, medieval story with dragons thrown into the mix. And, as an aside, that you think The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were shear torture to read, and the movies were even worse.

Would you recommend GoT? I'm serious and not trollng.

The Killing
Fargo

Not in the same level as Got, which is legendary in its execution, but quality binge watching.

Read the books. Trust me. The Walking Dead is the closest to GOT in my opinion.

The Wire is another fantastically done series.

I still need to get around to watching The Wire. I'm assuming Aidan Gillen doesn't speak like Batman in it?

You're exactly like my friend...couldn't care less about anything considered "fantasy," I'm pretty sure he never saw LotR just because it looked stupid to him. I spent three years trying to get him to watch GoT with nary a flicker of interest on his part. His GF finally convinced to him watch a couple episodes, wonder what she had that I didn't. He burned thru the first three seasons, caught up, then watched this past season as it happened. One of his favorites now, and this is a guy with zero geek in him. The show will subvert what you think "fantasy" entertainment is/is capable of.

The Sopranos and The Wire are about as close as you'll get to GoT. Nothing else on TV like it. The writing on Breaking Bad is similar, but not the scope.
