The good news is that shows like AMC’s The Walking Dead have shown that material once thought unsuitable or unfilmable for TV can make it, and to top it off can be critical and commercial darlings. Most likely Game of Thrones will attract much of the same crowd, and throw in a bunch of people who love fantasy series like Lord of the Rings. Although, will the lack of magic, and the addition of politics throw some users?

I think the fact that this is an HBO project will attract some viewers who generally aren't into "fantasy". I've read the books. Let me assure you, this isn't your stereotypical fantasy where the good guys unite to beat the bad guy, and all is well at the end. It is dark, dirty, violent, and the good guys die as easily and often as the bad guys. HBO is the only network that could do this story justice. Winter is Coming!
