Is anyone watching this on Sky Atlantic?
Have absolutely loved it. Only 2 episodes left (10 part series). New series has already been commissioned.
Awesome British cast that one of our channels could only dream about (HBO funded). Great plot - I think I may have to buy the books the series is adapted from. Very blood thirsty/ sexy - so not one to let your kid watch. But utterly fascinating.
If not had a chance to see it - get the DVD.

Yeah it's very good. I'd absolutely recommend the books, they're the reason I was so excited about this series in the first place.
Some major twists still to come as well!

Yeah I'm watching it too, really enjoying it. It's really kicking off now after a slightly slow start. Sean Bean is awesome in it too, one of my favourite actors. My mate who recommended it said 'watch this show, it's got loads of tits in it' ;D, he wasn't lying!

I watched the first episode. American TV has suddenly become a lot more permissive hasn't it...
Aside from the soft-core porn, I didn't rate it all that much. It struck me as being very much like the Tudors, though perhaps not as laughable since it is supposed to be fantasy.

How do you get Sky Atlantic? I assume Virgin Media customers are pretty much stuffed ?

Moobs - its only on Sky.
Apparently is by far and away the most popular programme on Sky Atlantic. Had a million viewers first episodes and the next best was Boardwalk Empires first show (a decent series that threatened to be awesome) with just under half a million.
Taff, I know what you mean. I wasn't quite sure if I would like it but I am totally gripped.
It did have a slow start - but i Sky + the first 4 so was able to get right into it in one go.

Had seen the trailers for it and had forgotten about it until i saw this thread, watched the first 9 episodes in the last few days and have to say it is one of the best things ive seen on the telly in years.
Gonna seem like a long wait for the 2nd series.

Episode 9 was a monster. I am counting down the days until Monday and the finale.

Brilliant series, even the GF likes it! Hope the second series doesn't take too long to grace our screens.

Just watched epsiodes 8 and 9 again, gutted there is only one left in this series.
Personal fav actor is Peter Dinklage playing the part of Tyrion Lanister ( the little fella ), lovin his style.

I'm trying to ration it, watched half the series in a couple of days! Don't see how you could not like this... it's intelligent, well acted, and has plenty of sex (although a lot of it weird!)

Well then, calling that an interesting season finale would be an understatement.
Stories within stories and a plot thats thicker than cement.
If season 2 and whatever else is left in this lives up to its potential i reckon this series is destined for greatness.

haven't seen this thread until now, so pleased that others are raving about it.
One of the best mini-series, really really addictive - Have tried to convert people at work and none seem to like it
Gutted that tonight is last in series

Just watched the last episode, superb! Loved the ending, can't wait until the next series, might even start reading the books.

The second series can't come quick enough for me, and it's all very nicely set up.
SY I would definitely recommend the books, they're a fantastic read (literally!). As a fan of the books I was concerned before the TV series came up that it wouldn't match up to the books, it's very easy to make a fantasy series look cheesy and daft but I've been overwhelmed with how well this has been done, I'm just desperate for the next series to air, or at least for the first series to be released on DVD so I can watch it again!

Its going to be a long hard wait.
Im a book fan but will resist getting these ones, enjoy raising my eyebrows at the end of each episode to much to jump the gun.
Shame in a way that the books are out there, we could have have a lot of fun playing guess the ending.
