Administrator Maldesto Posted May 10, 2019 Administrator Posted May 10, 2019 Hey OSBot, Do you guys watch Game of Thrones? I am considering to start this weekend with my wife. We have never watched and think we might give it a shot. How many episodes will it take before I get hooked? I heard the first episodes aren't great and may turn it off before realizing how good it is.
Guest Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Game of thrones is good if you don’t mind long term watches like Netflix series. I personally enjoyed it and the last series which is on atm was fucking amazing. P.S are you busy?
Impensus Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I would 100% recommend getting started. You really appreciate it seasons 3-6 but the first few seasons are slow as they set the scene (which is very important). I think season 7-8 have sloppier writing due to the books not being released but are still good. I would deffo recommend watching especially if you aren't going to get deep into the lore/books like I do and then get slightly disappointed as the TV show moves away from the books.
LeBron Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 The only problem I ever had with GoT was some episodes were "slow" and that's only because I had to wait one week for it and then another week for another episode. You've got everything already laid out for you and don't have to wait for it and can just binge the shit outta it. It get better the more you watch, should definitely be hooked by the time you've watched the first season (10ish episodes).
Czar Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Game of thrones is a really good show, the only bad part for me was the first episode, too dark, boring, dragged out. Took me a few attempts to watch it back then. Aside from that the entire show has been super addictive and every person irl that I recommended it to has loved it. It can go over the top with fantasy but it is entertaining. I am usually the guy that hates magic, dragons, zombies and shit but it is really fun ^^
ez11 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Very good show but sadly doesnt seem to get the ending it deserves 1 1
Turkoize Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Fantastic show. Honestly the only bad season is this current one and I'm sure you see the outrage. Seasons 1-7 are nothing short of fantastic.

JojoStands Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 It's been progressively getting worse and worse over the last few seasons. RJ and D&D are supposedly working on a Star Wars trilogy which I think will be a mess. 1

Pretty obvious they couldnt be bothered to give the show a proper ending after they realised how hard it was to work without book material
Naked Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I binged the first 5 seasons in a week, and then again over a few months with the GF. Very good. Maybe a few episodes to get hooked.
Evade Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 If you want a show that is like game of thrones but set more futuristic watch The 100. Same concept with different kingdoms fighting etc etc
manko Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) i started to watch it about 2 years after it was out, downloaded all S1 and 2 and watched all 20 in less than a day, started S1 and ended up watching it all in a night then got some sleep and watched S2 . id say it seemed to have gone down hill a bit this year, slow starts with fights that are not as good as the hype and that were more off a mess full off holes that get you thinking "why did they do that". never had it with the other one's but this years i do but that my be cos the people making dont have a well made book to go off this time and they have a lot to rap up but no clue on how to do it.

EKOx REACTZz Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 First 2 seasons are a complete snooze fest, shit hits harder then nyquil. I tried to get into it like 5 times and every time I stopped after the first 3 episodes till I just decided to grind it out lol but I didn't get hooked till the end of season 3 after the red wedding and its been fire since.
