I wonder why they dropped the "A" from the title when they made the TV programme? Anyway... that doesn't matter because this drama series is utterly brilliant! The story and the world it is set in is fantastic and the characters and actors portraying them are sublime. HBO have done an incredible job in adapting George R R Martin's A Game of Thrones. Sean Bean heads up the cast as Ned Stark... head of the Stark family and Lord of Winterfell. I love the way all the northmen all speak with northern accents and are all straight-talking no nonsense warriors. Their deadly opponents are the Lannisters who are headed up by Charles Dance and you couldn't get a more devious bunch. Their motto is "a Lannister always pays his debts" and without doubt the character who reminds us this the most and who is probably the best character in the whole programme is Tyrion Lannister played by the brilliant Peter Dinklage. He literally steals every scene he is in. Dinklage's charisma is marvellous.
Series 2 is apparently in production and I personally cannot wait to watch it. In the meantime if you haven't seen series 1... I urge you to do so.
Rating: 10/10
