    Game of Thrones hands down the best series ever. And I loved Eragon so much that I waited 3 years for the last book, so know I ain't lying :p

    Should I start watching Game of Thrones? Once I finish Modern Family and Breaking Bad, I have to catch up on Made in Chelsea.

    If people are looking for good comedies, The Office, Brooklyn 99 and Arrested Development are gold.

    It's good but admittedly fairly overrated, there's quite a lot of boring bits but the big moments are done so well that they compensate for any blandness. I'd give it a go, if you don't like it by the end of season one I'd say you'd be better off not continuing.

    If you're planning on watching it do it soon before someone spoils it for you!! :p

    There were plenty of bland episodes over the past few seasons, no spoilers here though ;) have you read the books? That's probably why I find certain parts bland. :p

    Im always one for a story and the episodes seem to always fill that. They never have just an empty epsode.
    And im in the process. Still a beginner. I was more of an LotR man.
