sunshinemiss -> RE: Best Show on Television (9/13/2013 7:34:01 PM)

I like to watch television while i walk on my treadmill or use my stationary bike. I generally will watch a series' episodes back to back. Shows become long movies for me in that way, and since I stream them on the computer, no commercials! Yay! I'm currently starting season 2 of Game of Thrones - frankly, I like it. I love the strong and complex characters - both men and women, I like the multi-cultural aspects of it, I like the gritty reality of it (first season seen only so far... no spoilers please!). I had to be convinced by a couple of friends to continue watching after a couple of scenes creeped me out. They were right. It's brilliantly written and acted. The scenery (which is NOT computer generated, btw) is stunning, and the cinematography does it justice. The directing and editing are spot on. The backstories, the interweaving of stories, the breaking of taboos are all quite well done. I'm hoping it stays excellent and doesn't jump the shark. best, sunshine edited to add: I forgot!!! SERIOUS eye candy... and the swoony accents. <fans self>
