It's good storytelling, good characters, and not very predictable plot lines.
I never thought I'd like it. I figured it was that one with the dragons and the undead and the gratuitous sex and violence. And then I watched it a while and found how much I liked the characters and the writing.
And there's genuine fear when your favorites get into a bind. As much as I like James Bond, what are the odds that 007 won't survive the next Bond movie? It's an entirely different feeling with GoT characters.
