Isn't it sort of Home and Away set in medieval times?
Fantasy that takes elements from history and winds them together with banter..
Dothraki - steppe horse nomads
The Wall and the Wildlings - Hadrian's Wall and the Scott's
Wild Fire - Greek Fire
Winter is coming - Chemtrails
Ned Stark - Tony Abbot
And so on..
The show has now moved on from the books, and has really gone south. Without the source text it's descended into clunky dialogue and fart jokes..
Season 1 10/10
Season 6 3.5/10
