Yes.

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.

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.
