\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Game of Thrones<\/a> is the most engrossing television show since the incredible\u00c2\u00a0Mad Men<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s superbly written, the cast and characters are terrific, and the production value exceeds any other medieval\/fantasy-based show like, um,\u00c2\u00a0Spartacus<\/a> and\u00c2\u00a0Merlin<\/a>. But hey, Game of Thrones has large amounts of metaphorical chests of gold catapulted at it from\u00c2\u00a0HBO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The inhabitants in this world live where seasons last for decades. Empires prosper during the everlasting summers and kingdoms are frozen over with darkness during the eternal winters. To block out creepy winter-thriving monsters they have a mammoth 700 ft stone wall stretching the whole width of the continent. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hinted that things go ape-shit during this time because the characters tremble in fear whenever one of them dramatically utters, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Winter is coming\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

The show is\u00c2\u00a0so good<\/em> that after introducing it to a mate of mine, he went on a sleep-deprived quest and scorched through all the available episodes in 2 days. Talk about addiction\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

One critic described Game of Thrones as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Sopranos in Middle Earth\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Except I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen The Sopranos (don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hate me) but we all know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s critically acclaimed and immensely popular\u00e2\u20ac\u201dso it must be good. And there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing too magical or anything elf-like in the show either. But there\u00c2\u00a0is<\/em> a clever, charming yet cunning\u00c2\u00a0dwarf<\/a> though.<\/p>\n

And he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my favourite of them all.<\/p>\n
