Ive seen a few of the shows listed but haven’t seen Game of Thrones just yet, hasn’t caught my eye
My personal favorite after Game of thrones is “Humans” because I never seen anything better than this in television; the story, direction, acting, and almost all the things are the best. So, after game of thrones, my favorite is Humans. You should also check out this series.
I haven’t seen any of these shows but would like to start watching Game of Thrones from the beginning and get caught up. I want to see what all the buzz is about.
My husband is a huge fan of Game of Thrones and he is watching Vikings too now. Have to show him this post, maybe he finds some new shows to check out.
I keep hearing from my friends and social media how good this show is. Maybe I’m going to have to add it to my list of shows to binge watch.
I haven’t seen any of these shows either. Vikings looks interesting and so does Game of Thrones. I have a lot of catching up to do!
I really loved the Tudors! Its very very good!
