OK, well sex, violence and political intrigue would normally win the day, whatever the backdrop, but for some reason I'm struggling with this show - I think I was expecting more from what I guess Sky consider to be the channel's flagship show, and, to be honest, the point behind my post was really to see if people think it's worth persevering with, rather than a comment on the quality of the channel's output as a whole. The wider point, however, is that if that output is as varied as your post would appear to suggest, then perhaps Sky need to do a little bit more to convince an audience with equally varied tastes. As it stands I still haven't seen anything to convince me and, as somebody who was genuinely looking forward to being convinced, and even paid for an episode on Blinkbox when a recording clash meant I missed one, I just find I'm a little... disappointed.

FWIW, my favourite shows I've seen this year are the Tudors (on demand, missed it first time round) and currently Walking Dead. I really should get GoT, right?
