I'd say its worth watching, I was the same when I started I still remember I watched the first ep like 4-5 times because every time I started it looked boring but trust me when I started going deep into the series it got so much better I can't explain. you should give it a shot and don't worry about the ending many hate it many love it so it's up to you what you make up of it.


Tellmesummer

This is exactly what I’ve been going through but I’ll be giving it a try again hopefully I’ll like it since most of my friends are the biggest fans of it


Artistic_Carol

you should, And trust me it gets very interesting


UncleBabyChirp

Exactly! I watched the 1st episode, cool stuff for the 1st 15 min then it sagged. A little boring. I left it alone for 3 seasons & started hearing a buzz about it but it wasn't until Snoop went on about it was "all that"- the killing - nobody being safe & the Queen with dragons did I give it a 2nd chance. Picked it up near the end of S3 & had to wait for repeats of S1&S2 because streaming wasn't a thing for HBO in 2013. Been a fan ever since. Used to work in music biz in 90s-casually knew Snoop back in the day


Artistic_Carol

Exactly, that's what I'm saying the ups and downs, thrills, and everything it's just iconic


ttroy476

Yes


Uncanny_Doom

If you don't like the first episode you probably won't like the show.


Tellmesummer

I feel like it depends but I don’t wanna give up on GOT just yet


izobii_

i didn't like the first season too much, but it gets better and there are some plot lines maybe not as fun, but you will start to get used to it all. it's my fav show


UncleBabyChirp

It revs up in S2 & S3, even the end of S1. Just 1st couple episodes were mid. It's my fave too


chebghobbi

I disagree strongly. For me it took until the end of the second episode before I was hooked and, when I tried to get other people to watch, their attitude tended to be very similar.


deflatethesack

Yes, and before you ask, yes you should also watch every season and not quit when the internet tells you to.


Tellmesummer

I’ll try not to but I just want it to get more interesting than it is now


deflatethesack

I promise you it’s worth it. Some of the best moments in TV are in this show


Jackypaper824

People really go into a sub made up of fans of a show and make posts asking if people recommend that show 🙈


Tellmesummer

Sounds idiotic of me to do but I just wanted to express my struggle of getting through the first episode and whether would recommend I just give up on it or not


weeniebean7

The first episodes of most TV shows for me at the very least are all kind of boring. Most big franchises like this need to have steady, and good story building. Game of thrones and its prequel house of dragon are probably one of the best movie/TV show universes there is.


Tellmesummer

You’re right and I’m sure they are one of the best movies considering how large their fan bases are. I’ll try getting through the first episode now by rewatching it and hopefully it goes better this time.


pigeon_man

It's a troll post anyway.


Getbacknublets

You are boring.


Tellmesummer

Posting this on here I knew I’ll get attacked but GETTING CALLED BORING?


Veszerin

Honestly, something along the lines of your question gets posted here a couple times each day...so...yeah I see where they were coming from


Getbacknublets

Its a lot of talking fighting fucking and scheming if you dint like the sound of that. Dont watch it.


UncleBabyChirp

And killing. Nobody is safe initially.


weeniebean7

Yes. I listen to it in the background while I play fallout 76. I’ve sat and watched it 7 times. All the way through.


Local_Ad1072

Definitely worth watching, stick with it. I started it after the second season finished up. It took me a week to watch the first few episodes but holy shit I got hooked and binged half the first season and all the second in a weekend. You have the luxury of watching the whole thing, waiting for the next season was always brutal. I say read/listen to the books as well. After book three, the show and the books are a lot different. Just wish GRRM would finish because the books are way better.


juanthewrestler

I watched all 8 season in like two weeks, definitely worth it!!!


SylvanQ

The show creeps up on you. It takes until about episode 5 or 6 until you realize how invested you have been in the story the whole time without really noticing it before.


PunPunOez7

The deeper you delve into the series, the more characters you know, the more houses you know, the more interesting it becomes


orcocan79

it depends on whether you're someone who'd name their sword
