And Game of Thrones. ****, man. I could go on for hours about that show. I avoided it for years, even with the wife begging me to watch it. She even begged my best friends to convinve me to watch it. One of my friends said, "TimBone, you love Skyrim. Game of Thrones is like watching a TV show about Skyrim." I still wouldn't budge. Fast forward to last Fall, I'm in a craft beer store, and I see a brewery that I enjoy has collaborated with Game of Thrones to put out a Game of Thrones themed beer series. I buy a bottle, and tell my wife, "I will watch ONE episode while I drink this beer. When I decide I don't like the show, I will not watch a second episode." So, I sit down, watch the first episode and drink the beer....and I finished the entire series (I think 5 seasons at that point), in about two weeks. I was hooked.

Same thing happened to me, pretty much. My son bought me season one on DVD as a gift this last Xmas because I had already read the first book. I binge watched the entire series.
