All you had to do in GoT was make it to the end of the first episode and then you're like "whoa wait aren't those two brother and sister?!?"

I think Game of Thrones had lots of intrigue in the first few episodes but I also didn't like that one because I'm not a big fan of incest, murdering children, discussion of if prostitutes do or do not constitute skill in getting laid, and rape by the ocean. Also, sociopolitical landscapes of medieval Europe in grimdark lack of proper succession contexts.

But I won't judge people who do like it.
