I never watched it, because I knew I couldn't handle the violence. However, I am fascinated by critiques of shows I don't watch, lol. These two by Lindsay Ellis were good, I thought. From watching her reviews, it seems like most series and movies end up being misogynistic, and turning the main female character into an illogical, raving lunatic.

I started watching with Season 2 but I got too lost so stopped. I'm just going to start over and watch it on streaming one of these days.
I am all over anything with dragons!

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful and helpful replies!
We watched a few more episodes. Only one horse got slaughtered. (rolleyes) There are some older shows that I LOVE that are very dark and violent. Millennium (1996-1999) starring the wonderful Lance Henricksen is one. It gave us nightmares, but I'd watch it again tomorrow. Rome (2005-2007) is another one, actually rather similar to GoT. Plenty of sex, violence and misery. I'd watch that again, too. And, Hannibal (2013-2015) with Mads Mikkelsen. Wow, I loved that show! I'm not sure why GoT is not ringing my bell. ETA: LOL, I just realized that Milennium and Hannibal are pretty much the same thing. They are both about an FBI profiler who has a psychic ability to get into the minds of a killer. I never thought of the similarity before. Things that make you go, "Hmmmm...."
