They're both on TV, I guess they're both equally good.

Kinda like comparing The Jeffersons to NYPD Blue. It's apples and oranges.
If I got this right, the only reason the two are being compared is because I remarked on shitty writing and someone warned me that if I couldn't handle characters dying, I should stay away from GoT. [Reply]

Yeah, you're right...
I've never seen an episode of GoT, I'm considering checking it out. [Reply]

Jujitsu Instructor buddy raves about that show. I’ve been hoping to catch season 1/2 somewhere so I can get the back story before diving into the new season. [Reply]

You really really REALLY need to watch it from the beginning to the present without spoiling yourself in the interim. It's a great show, but not one you just dip your toe into from time to time. Basically it's all one gigantic saga that builds on itself as it goes along. Not every episode is mandatory watching, but skipping entire seasons or starting up with the present episodes is not advised. [Reply]

I could. not. agree more with this statement. [Reply]
I would add, don't be daunted by all the episodes to catch up on. It's gonna be a while before there are new episodes, or even hype to be spoiled by.
And it won't be a slog. It won't be homework.
If anything you'll have difficulty stopping once you start watching. [Reply]
