Such a quality show. On paper it seems impossible to come out on top with a Fantasy series involving dragons, nudity and monsters. However, it's done, and with excellence! I picked it up because I heard it was based on books written by a Fantasy writer who hated Fantasy. That was enough for me to become intrigued (since the genre has been utterly killed in the 90s and 00s). Great acting, unexpected turns of events, a wonderful focus on politics and power games instead of mindless war scenes that the genre is otherwise infested by, and lots of warmth and complex humanity. And honestly, some of those gritty sex scenes in the first seasons...
