I don't completely understand why I watch this HBO series. The plot cannot be understood. People come and go, they kill and maim each other and speak in a language that requires subtitles.
It's not the sexually explicit scenes, because that stuff can be seen by anyone dialing up xhamster.com. Maybe it's the same reason I watch WWII movies. Raw violence! Or I just like the non-conventional weird characters that are part of the scenes. Or maybe it's like science fiction. But I have to admit one thing, the scenery and costumes of medieval times are sensational.
This is the writeup from IMDdPro. See if you can understand it.
"Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the throne. The friction between the houses Stark, Lannister and Baratheon, and with the remaining great houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, and Tyrell, leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond."
