GAME OF THRONES
From George. R.R. Martin’s a song of ice and fire series comes Game of Thrones.

Fair warning about this show as it has a lot of explicit sexual content and bloodshed. It is not suitable for people below the age of 18 years. Trust me when I say that you need a box of Kleenex for every episode you watch. Nonetheless, you will end up falling in love with the series and the characters. Don’t get too attached, though!
