GoT has to be one of the best shows on television, ever produced.
It pulls people in instantly, it has to have some of the most wonderfully written episodes(seriously witty/hilarious/devastating at times) and ALL of the cast have an amazing amount of chemistry - every actor on this show totally owns their character and their piece in the puzzle.
This show is exceptionally confronting - it paints a picture that unfortunately is not that dis-similar to our own past(dragons/white walkers not withstanding) - whilst also creating an immense amount of edge of your seat viewing. We connect with these people and we want to see the good succeed and the horrible people get their comeuppance(Go Arya), but we also become devastated and at times blind sided by the narrative and visual spectacles that take out our favorite characters like lemmings.
Peter Dinklage(Tyrion Lannister) and Maisie Williams(Arya Stark) are my 2 favorite characters overall. These two totally act their arses off every time they appear on the screen. Both characters have been put through the wringer and yet they continue to fight.
The chemistry between all the different pairings is amazingly perfect. Each actor has been chosen for their character with amazing foresight. So many of these characters end up in some very odd pairings and the chemistry that is created is consistent and refreshing that they all work so well together.
As viewers, we expect a certain level from the things we watch. I watch and read a vast array of genres and have to place Game of Thrones as the best of ALL television shows I have watched.
I am a huge fan of a number of shows - Haven, Once Upon a Time, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Supernatural, Reign, etc, etc, etc - but GoT definitely tops my list. I highly recommend this insane roller coaster of a show
