I made it to episode three and I kept falling asleep. It wasn't holding my attention. I'll go back when I have more time.
You gotta commit. The show does put a LOT on the viewer, they throw us in this massive world with tons of culture, history, and backstory we don't know. I read the GoT wiki as I went along, that helped a lot as well.

GOT wiki was a great resource for me as well. It was updated after each episode, so the facts were, generally, things that we should know based on what the show had shown to that point.

Unfortunately for him, he really can't use it cuz he'll get spoiled to Bolivia :francis:

I don't mind spoilers if it helps me get into the show.

Then I highly recommend the wikia site.

I'd say start with the episode recaps: Season 1 Episodes

If you click on any linked words (a character's name, a place, a thing, etc), you will get background information that would add context to the story, but of course could provide spoilers. You may not care about spoilers now, but if you do end up getting hooked you will, cuz this series has a bunch of :ooh: :krs: :wow: moments. Generally, you can scroll down to the background section of those pages and be ok.

Yup times has changed. IF you avoid character pages, and just focus on pages that describe locations, events, races, etc. that can really help.

I managed to get through season 1 WITHOUT spoiling the finale. Definitely a top 3 TV show twist of all time (for non book readers at least).

Cool. I'm very familiar with these wikia sites. I was using it for fear the walking dead Cuzz I missed a few details.

well we're well into season 3. well my wife is. everytime I try to watch, I either fall asleep or I'm drinking or playing on my laptop/phone. my wife has since turned the corner and started binging this shyt, but I still cannot follow and that's my fault because I didn't really pay close attention. I think it's a wrap for me trying to get into this show.
