We would not recommend this to anyone. Terrible ending that has no resolution or conclusion.

For those who didn't understand it - yes.
No offense pal, but it is very much concluded and every question has been answered.
The viewer just has to draw the lines between the dots.

Game of Thrones

I can tell you that Game of Thrones is phenomenal, visual beautiful, fantastic, exhilarating and action-packed thrilling rollercoaster that in many ways has not been seen yet in a tv show. I could say that and be absolutely right about it, but unless you have been living under a rock without an internet connection for the past 2 years than no doubt you already heard, seen or read for yourself what a masterpiece the books and/or this tv series is.

Game of Thrones is exactly like the title says: A game for the throne. Played by the people who think its their right to claim, conquer or inherit it. They all have different goals and different ways of getting to that point, but their goal is in essence in one way or another the same for all of them: to be recognized and remembered for their deeds. Off course that is not so weird since everyone in real life at some level thinks like that. But the main characters in Game of Thrones are different, either through noble descent, the power and money they have, intelligence or sheer luck they have become a member of one of the noble houses that rule the countries and can decide the fate and lives of hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people within the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos.

The story, setting and characters are all taken from a broad range of European history. Most of what we see of the continent Westeros (castles and tournaments) is taken from High Medieval Western Europe from around the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. But the story takes bits and pieces from other time periods as well. For example the wildfire that was used in season 2 in a brilliant strategic move of "The Imp" Tyrion Lannister during the Battle of the Blackwater is in fact Byzantine "Greek fire" which was invented and first used in the 7th century during battles between Muslims and Byzantines. This and other historical events, devices and characters based on real people out of history are all as it seems perfectly interwoven into each other into the fictional world of Game of Thrones by the author of the books George R. R. Martin.

For the actors who play the characters i have nothing but utmost respect. The performance they manage to show episode after episode is definitely what makes this tv show so popular. There is one in particular that without a doubt is one of the more popular stars of this tv show: Peter Dinklage who plays the role of "The Imp" Tyrion Lannister. In the 1st season he was portrayed as nothing more than someone who took advantage of his noble status and money to do whatever he wanted. But in season 2 (and hopefully the next seasons too) he transformed despite his disadvantage of being born as a dwarf (who during medieval times and in this fictional world are considered "lesser" humans) into a brilliant military and political strategist and someone who can very good and enjoys as he so very accurately said himself "play the game".

Game of Thrones is without a doubt the hit tv show of this decade. It started out with a story about medieval times, but slowly with every episode we see the world of the Seven Kingdoms transform into a place where mythical creatures exist, magic and dark powers are used as a weapon against enemies and where the dead are once more walking again.... Winter is coming, and i have no doubt it that it will be as spectacular and story-wise phenomenal as we have have seen in the previous seasons.

I am sooooo in love with that show!

Usually on a comedy show like Parks and Recreation, the writers need some episodes to introduce the characters. That can be really boring sometimes. But the writers of Parks and Recreation made it possible to fall in love with every character since the 2nd episode. How do they made that in just ~20 minutes for each episode?

This show is fantastic ! Far much better than The Office or 30 Rock . Every character is sooo different and no one is annoying (well Andy maybe).

I watched 5 seasons in a row because I didn't heard anything about this show and I NEVER get bored during watching an episode.

This show gets 9 out of 10 <3 from me.

And I fell in love with Ron Swanson.
RON SWANSON FOR THE WIN!

I've had a list (mid-season 2013) but I deleted it.
And to be honest with you... I made a resolution to not take on new shows (I'll add some to my watchlist, but I probably will never watch them).
I'll finish "Breaking Bad", "Dexter", "Sons of Anarchy", "Homeland" and so on, documentaries are always allowed though ;D
Have you ever asked yourself the question: "Wow - so many new tv shows, but why are there so many?"
Well... I discovered the answer.
If you want to know - I'll be happy to write you an email or a comment.

THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST 'DRAMA' SERIES IN TV HISTORY.
The terrifying realistic scenario & all that comes with it, will get under your skin - it's literally 'a thrill'!

I am running nuts the see the show continue (2013-07-15), even sadly this MASTERPIECE is coming to an end! (O_o)

'Southland' cancelled. TNT has cancelled crime drama Southland (while calling it “one of the best police dramas ever made”) and freshman medical drama Monday Mornings. Southland aired five seasons, first starting out on NBC before switching to TNT, while Monday Mornings was a freshman show.

I don't know how I could have possibly missed this show, it's so up my alley it's ridiculous!
I caught episode 4x02 on a looong plane flight last week (it was the only episode available, WTF Qatar that's just too random!) and have used the unsociable jetlag period to smash out the entire fourth series. Knowing I have three more seasons to catch up on makes me wonder how long you can pretend to stretch jaglag out and sit up dusk til dawn uninterrupted :)
