"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground." - Cersei Lannister during the final confrontation with Eddard Stark.

While many people enjoy the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, a lot more of them enjoy the TV Series. What makes this show so special? Well, we all know that this show wouldn't even exist without George R. R. Martin's epic saga, but honestly, the show and the books are completely different things.

First of all, the story line of the show, I find, is quite different to that of the books. You may find many characters in the books have not yet been (or maybe will never be) featured in this universally acclaimed series. Some characters' names have also been changed. Now, this may annoy many fans of the books, but I for one, am not complaining.

This show has made a name for itself, even though, like I said before, it would be nothing without the books. Seriously, I have a lot of respect for David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, who are the creators of this show. It must have been a huge pressure on them. On a slightly different note, the writing in this show is phenomenal and for that I have a lot of respect for George R. R. Martin and everyone who has helped with the writing of this show. Some may argue that I am too young to be watching this show, but I can't stop now, for I am already in too deep.

I also adore the cast of this show. One of my absolute favourite things to do is watch a Game of Thrones blooper reel. Honestly, this cast can still manage to be goofy while on the set of one of the most dramatic shows on earth. Aside from that, of course, their acting is amazing. I admire them for being able to not only portray, but also to actually bring their characters to life.

The one and only, Daenerys Targaryen

This show has been running for 6 (almost 7) years now (since 2011). It discusses very important matters, like war, politics, sexuality, feminism, and many other topics. Over the years, this show has definitely taught me a lot. It is - perhaps it will always be - my favourite TV series. David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, and of course, George R. R. Martin have done a fantastic job.
