This is a normal post I've watched about five minutes of the first episode & then gave up.
Is it any good at all? Or do you need to be a nerd to enjoy it?

This is a normal post It walks a fine line between soap opera and 14 year old boys wet dream
Some good acting makes it watchable though

This is a normal post It fools you into thinking it might be more political
but then degenerates into dragons and wizards and all that shit.

This is a normal post It's brilliant
Sets, locations, actors and costumes look stunning. There are multiple protagonists, most of whom are neither wholly evil or completely good, and since this is a brutal Mediaeval-style world, any one of them could die suddenly and horribly (and they do.)

The fantasy elements are secondary to the complex plot, and used sparingly, so that when they do happen we share the characters' awe and fear.

I'm not a sword n sorcery fan, but I'm totally hooked on it. We're 3 episodes into the 4th series, and already a major character has died horribly, setting the plot off on another tangent. I bloody love it!

This is a normal post ^ I'm with Norway
It's been a long time, but wasn't the first 5 minutes actually quite good - people getting chased and killed by scary things in a forest ?

"Do the dead frighten you?"

I love it, but it's not for everyone obviously...
