What exactly made the first few seasons "great" ? Was it just the deviant sexual (which were abundant) scenes ? Because the story of the Starks is very millennial soy induced. (i.e.. "girl = boy", raising others children, and kidnapping) The Lannister's are war mongering , incestual, and miscreants. Then you have the promotion of eunuchs, pimps, and "girl power" everywhere...blech. The dragons themselves were well done CGI. That's no where near enough for me to say "great show". The insults and put downs of other cultures, ones own family were (again) nothing more than social sabotage for those who watch it. (normalization of what one does in those scenarios, and to those people). I watched the show because of the hoopla it got. I was hoping it'd get better, it always got more sadist and terrible.
