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.

Game of Thrones is Political Chess in a fantasy setting. Think of it more like historical fiction than scifi. Would you watch a show on the warring and political infighting of medieval Europe? The pacing is excellent and makes you want to keep watching, through the first 3 seasons I don't recall a single episode that felt like filler. If you aren't offended by gratuitous boobs and blood you should definitely check it out.

Exactly. The fantasy stuff is mostly background as far as time spent although some huge events involve it.

Also, had to include the above in bold. Yuck.
