Why would you even attempt to watch GoT if you don't get on with fantasy stuff?
That is similar to me sitting down with the missus to pretend to watch Bridgerton with her, as I don't get on with soppy romantic costume dramas...however the time spent has got my fantasy team top of my mini-league...
That is a pretty good summing up of The Walking Dead. It kept me watching until season 7 or something, then it suddenly jumped forward like 2 years and they'd formed communities and it was a giant WTF, although that ended pretty well with key character's heads on stakes with their mouths moving...
