New series: A Game of Thrones

[karen9]

There's been so much hype about this series. I hope it lives up to expectations. It's airing in the USA and the UK early in April. It's been made by HBO - who are they? I suppose it will be shown here on the pay channels only.

I came across the publicity through a Sean Bean site. He plays one of the main roles.

I then found the book by George R.R. Martin, which I enjoyed.

I have to confess that this is the first time I've heard about it. I'm glad to hear the book was good. With any luck, the series will also be enjoyable. It certainly helps that Sean Bean is playing the lead. :-)

HBO is an American cable network that produces and co-produces a number of shows.

I saw some comments that HBO are not known for subtlety.
