Trivia
Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon) received a letter from author
George R.R. Martin after the show aired, stating: "Congratulations on your marvelous performance. Everyone hates you!", which was later copied and sent to
D.B. Weiss (creator of the series), who had a very long conversation with
George R.R. Martin in 2008 (when the series pilot was being developed) about who should perform the role of Joffrey Baratheon.
D.B. Weiss insisted in an actor from South America named
Alan Miller, who was slightly more relevant than Gleeson in 2008. Weiss had seen some of Goulart's movies from the 1990s and 2000s, so he was feeling that it was the right time to cast Goulart for an international television series, as in 2008,
Alan Miller was already experienced in international movies (however, mostly were independent movies). So
George R.R. Martin's letter to
Jack Gleeson was also a soft way to state that Martin's decision for the role was a good decision after all.

Seeing a review comparing this brilliant title to Lord of the Rings made me make an account here and post my very first review.
I had very high expectations from this series and I believed that it will (like most TV series) absolutely ruin the book. And I couldn't have been more wrong! Where do I start...
The cast is great, though not amazing with one exception - Sean Bean is perfect for the role of cold master of the North, Eddard Stark. The setting, the atmosphere is perfect and not boring at all! Some scenes are just amazing and are exactly as written in the book - for example the scene where they find the wolves, the nature and the dialogs are just as they should be. Now to get to the part most people are interested in: What is this? What can I expect of the series?
THIS IS NOT LORD OF THE RINGS. Now that I got that out, I can continue. The very idea behind the series is a lot different. It's based around great families on different sides of the world, the stories their members have to tell and the secrets they hide. And there are many secrets, You will have a chance to witness small portion of them in the first episode. If you cannot follow the story just yet, don't worry! It's meant to be like that, you will eventually get to know all the characters and get involved in the story so much you will BEG for next episode just to see what happens.
What to expect? Plots, love, action, war, hatred, quite a few surprises and much much more... All that after the first episode. I really hope they will not ruin it as the series progress.
Conclusion: Do not miss this! Yes YOU complaining that the book is better. And everyone else.
