Game of Thrones Season 1

Yes i know i am behind on everyone! but i have my reasons, i have had so much uni work that i just haven't had the time to start and then catch up with a series, so now that i have completely finished with University (YAY) i can make a start on a list of shows to catch up on.

I have just finished the first season of Game of Thrones and OMG it is amazing, i did unfortunately no probably one of the big spoilers of the season before hand because of when it first aired i saw the headlines in the aftermath but it was still a bit of a shock as to how it happened.

The show, based on the novels by George R R Martin and is set in the fictional lands of Westeros and Essos where family's are at war to rule the seven kingdoms sat upon the Iron Throne but with the threat of danger from beyond the wall where summer is ending and winter in coming.

So i am not going to give away any spoilers as some may not have seen any of it yet (but you should cause its awesome) but will try and talk about the things i enjoyed and the one or two things i didn't.

• I love how it keeps you guessing, you literally never no what is going to happen which is a brilliant way to keep you hooked to a TV show.
• I hated Joffrey from the moment he appeared on screen he is a truly vile character
• Peter Dinklage is brilliant he adds that comedy factor among the violence
• Speaking of violence and general goriness, I didn't think there would that much gore! if your squeamish it you should probably look away it is quite graphic most of which i could have done with out.
• Deanerys Targaryn (Emilia Clarke) so far along with Tyrion Lannister (Dinklage), John Stark (Kit Harrington) and Arya Stark (Maise Williams) are by far my favourite characters.
• It is pretty graphic for most people but then it is HBO
• And what is with all the incest 
• Chris from Skins is in it aka Joe Dempsie aka Gendry
• The series ended with a brilliant cliff hanger which makes me want to go and watch the next series now

I have thoroughly enjoyed it the first season is brilliant an can't wait to watch the next series.

The show also stars Sean Bean, Lena Heady, Charles Dance, Iain Glen, Sophie Turner, Jack Gleeson and a whole host of other great actors.

If like me and you haven't seen Game of Thrones yet, you must, it as available on a variety of streaming services including Sky Go in the UK
