Favorite book series ever (passing even the legendary LotR), and the show is just as good. They have done such an excellent job so far, can't wait for season 2.

I love the book series and the TV show gets it 90% right. Top three best things about it:
1. Peter Dinklage as Tyrion
2. Whatshername as Arya
3. The production value and fidelity to the source material.
Top three flaws:
1. Does HBO have a 1-graphic-sex-scene-per-episode quota for their shows? I don't mind sex on TV, but in this show it really does seem like they throw it in there to get attention for the show. The book has a fair share of sex but it's at least tripled for the TV show.
2. The Danaerys and Drogo story is changed a little bit in the beginning, in a way that makes Drogo look like more of a rapist than he does in the book.
3. The actress who plays Danaerys is pretty terrible overall.

I hope Geoffrey gets it soon. He is really mean. It is rare to find a show when you can't predict what is going to happen next.

Not gonna lie, I feel bad for the actor. I think Bronn had it right when he said there's no cure for being a...yeah.
