Game of Thrones, whenever I hear something from that shows it's always either murder, rape, or incest, or a combination thereof... yea no thanks.
It's medieval fantasy, and the books, despite low-key fantasy elements, attempt to depict medieval life with a lot of realism. The show, while keeping vaguely to the plot of the books, loses a lot of that realism, along with philosophical depth and allot of the morally ambiguous characterisation. Still, for all the shows flaws, I would be hard pressed to think of an instance of medieval-fantasy on film that is better, but that's not saying much. The books are incredible, anyway.
