The amount of posts on GoT crashed IMDb.
Not too surprising. GoT's popularity works against it on the boards because there is too much dreck posted. Half the posts are people flirting with each other, it even continues at a high rate long after the season is over. When I just want to read good comments about the show, there is all this crap to sift through.
I think GoT has some great elements, it has cinematic blockbuster production values, great music, and really good acting by its mostly British cast. The penultimate episode had one of the greatest battle scenes I've ever watched.
There is no reason a fantasy show can't be good. But I wish GoT wasn't quite so popular. I think the conflict and violence is what makes it popular.
