I had never seen the show until this week, when I bought Season 1 after hearing several people praising the show. After three or four episodes, I’m having the same problem I had with “24” - I get so angry at the evil characters, and the delayed sense of justice, that I can hardly watch it, despite all the naked women prancing around.

Well it won’t get any better, and don’t get too attached to any character.

Actually, I think that is one of the show's main failings, which tends to make it boring: there are plenty of evil characters, but not really any good ones, so you never really get emotionally involved with the story. You're just watching a bunch of a**holes battling for supremacy. I know the show is designed to have the audience root for the Stark family, but they aren't particularly endearing either. I think a really engaging show has to give the audience someone to root for, and ideally, someone to root against. Instead we have a glorified version of "Jersey Shore" with dragons and ballgowns. I'd say the only character I actually like is the dwarf, not because he's good, but just because he's cool.
