Have you been watching ... Game of Thrones?
The headline of the article is "Have you been Watching...Game of Thrones?". The author of the article is Sarah Hughes The article was published on the web site www.guardian.com on Sunday 26.2013. The article provides the information about the Game of Thrones which first started two years ago, naysayers said it would never work.
In the beginning of the article the author asks this question: "Who would want to watch a fantasy drama featuring squabbling families, dark magic, dragons and something very nasty lurking beyond a wall? The answer, it turns out, is rather a lot of people."
Then she states ts ratings are rising week upon week – it's Sky Atlantic's biggest show, and averages over five million viewers in the US – while the number of people watching illegally has grown so high, with up to four million viewers downloading each episode, that the US Ambassador to Australia recently begged Australian viewers to "stop the game of clones".
In fact the author states yet, for all the intimacy, Game of Thrones never loses its epic sweep. Whether two combatants finding love on the edge of the world or a young warrior queen freeing an army of slaves and convincing them to fight for her, this series has been filled with cinematic moments to make you gasp and swoon.
Further Sarah reports that In the first two seasons, there was a slight sense that they were constrained by the subject matter, worried of alienating loyal book fans. This time, there's a freedom to their storytelling, and a sense that they're prepared to take risks.
Then the author states that collision between the fantastical and the emotionally real is the reason behind Game of Thrones' growing success. Yes, this is a world where anything can (and probably will) happen, but it's propelled forward by the accuracy of its feelings. We watch not simply to see dragons fly, wondrous as they are, but because we believe in these characters, their fights, their dreams, their loves, their loss. "If you think this has a happy ending, you've not been paying attention," remarked Theon's nameless torturer in episode six. He may well be right, but the great joy of Game of Thrones is the way it keeps us hoping against all hope.
In my opinion it is worth seeing by many people. All in all, who would want to watch a fantasy drama featuring squabbling families, dark magic, dragons and something very nasty lurking beyond a wall? Now you know the answer.
