Game of Thrones is a benchmark in the high fantasy TV Genre. The fantastical elements are not the central premise of the show but it is the connections between characters and the seven families contesting their claim to the throne and then someone else totally to annihilate it all. Scheming, treachery, sex, royalties, laws and battles are high point of the show. Character development is so carefully done that one often find himself either rooting for the character or scheming against one. The story is unpredictable as it doesn't holds itself back to kill of a character. To sum it up in a quote from the show itself, "If you play Game of Thrones, you either win or you die."
