Massively overstated review.
Understated points of criticism.
"Cheesy" just doesnt cover the acting, production values, or even plot. I watched three seasons with some appreciation of the acting and production values (which seemed to me to be very effective and artistic, if not close to history. Most of the acting did flow stereotypical characters saying predictable stuff (with the refreshing exception of Peter Dincklage who was ...massively effective as the clever dwarf.
The plot it was that did for me in the end. The combined with some very stilted dialog and story developments--defying credulity, not because of dragons and weird characters and magic, but because of cliche events and speeches.
It was story line and contrived actions and cliched dialog that put me off.
I could not make it through much of the book or series. I do not have particularly high standards.
I read the first book when I had a bunch of free time. It was pretty good. I got half way through the second book but stalled. I lost all desire to pick it back up. Maybe I will one day when I have tons of time. But as busy as I am, I can't see cranking through another 3 1/2 of these tomes right now, especially knowing the series isn't even finished. Combine that with the fact people hated the HBO ending, I'm not too motivated to get to whatever the real ending will end up being, if it's ever written.
The first book was pretty good, though.

Was visiting my parents once. We were hunting for something to watch on TV one evening. They said we should watch an episode of GoT since I haven't seen it before.
My dad put it on then fell asleep 20 minutes later.
And this summarizes everything I feel about that show.
