I've just started game of thrones

Fucking hell they didn't pull any punches in the first episode did they! I don't quite know what to think of if. The scenes with the blonde prick in made me extremely uncomfortable. I'm glad there was less of those in the second episode

They definitely went for shock value.

They were showing it on Sky Atlantic so we set the player & it recorded all the series. Seems they just put the next one on afterwards.
There are moments in season 4 where I have to hide my head behind a cushion as the violence is really shocking!
