The film is actually not hyped. It has a great storyline
With an amazing cast, great reviews.
Box office records, and high budget.

Just say it's not your type of series.

Like me, I prefer watching comic series like Big Bang theory, 2 broke girls, Scrubs, How I met your mother, Modern family, New girl, Shameless, Devious maids, Everybody hates Chris, 2 and half men, friends, last man on earth
I have watched them all, lol.
The are my type of films.

I also love a little bit of action/thriller , and series like Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Empire, Lost, Nikita, Better call Saul, Blacklist, Blacklist redemption, 24, 24-Legacy, Lethal weapon, OZ, Blindspot, Power, How to get away with murder, Walking Dead etc does it for me..

On very rare occasions, I may want some bit of epic/mystery/Sci-fiction series, I watch Arrows, Game of Thrones, American gods, Gotham, person of interest, limitless

Mehn, I don watch series oo, I have even forgotten some.

What is the meaning on Over hype?, to even see Suits on your list haba bros. How can you even say GOT or HTGAWM are overhyped?. After The Sopranos I dont think there is any greater show than GOT.

And who are You, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low...

Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know...

A coat of gold, a coat of red,
a lion still has claws...

Mine are long and sharp my friend,
as long and sharp as yours...

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
this lord of Castamere...

And now the rains weep o'er his,
with no one there to hear...

And now the rains week o'er his halls,
with no one there to hear.






This series is the best I've ever watched.

Yeah I loved the music themes of GOT. But have you seen some other wonderful series as well to make the above assertion?

Game of Thrones is an unusual series. It doesn't get really interesting until the midway through the second season as the plot gradually builds up. However, the fact that the series was able to accommodate so many different and intriguing character storylines for so long without the scriptwriters or the teeming audience getting confused, stands it out. It also reflects the age-long fascinating power-play that has shaped the direction of the world since time immemorial, which a lot of people can relate to.

The above notwithstanding, for a series to be considered as the best, it should be able to provide that GRIPPING, EDGE-OF-THE-SEAT, JAW-DROPPING, ORGASMIC moments/story lines CONSISTENTLY for the most part. In this regard, it is my humble opinion that no series (1990s till date) has delivered on this better than PRISON BREAK and 24, which I consider both as the best fictional things to happen to Television. The enjoyment I get from GOT, although sustained, has not reached that gripping, intense, "go-all day without food" level I get from seeing 24 and Prison Break. The only area GOT performs better is its multi-faceted storyline while Prison Break and 24 tend to portray events only from Michael Scofield or Jack Bauer's perspective respectively. However, this does not translate to being more interesting.

For me, ratings do not provide the complete picture. It will surprise you that the series with the highest ratings ever are the soapy, boring, or regular ones that I don't even consider half as interesting such as Oz, Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Friends, Battlestar Galactica, Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, The Wire etc, most of which are rated above GOT, 24 and PBreak. This may be attributed to diverse tastes of global viewers especially one-half of the world's population (female folk) who generally do not prefer action-laced thrillers or complex intrigues.

I dont really fancy series/movies that are overhyped, I guess that's the reason......
I never watched past Game of Thrones, Season 1, Episode 1. I couldn't deal!

How to get away with murder, I think I finished season 1, and dint continue. But I watched a late episode, where that black guy died.

Scandal, I never watched past Season 1 tooo

Suits, I think I stopped at Season 1, Episode 2 or 3.

I haven't seen Power. May try to see it, if I get a good review, and hope its not overhyped.


But the only series, I have watched, and rewatched over and over again, 3 times now, is 24 Hours. From Season 1 to 9.
I love that series so much. Maybe because it's my kind of thing. I've learnt so much from that series.

Been so busy lately, else would continue where I stopped. Someone asked if you have 1hour extra a day, what would do? I said I'd sleep or watch 24. That's how much, I'm in sync with that series.

Anyone has any action/educative/crime (3-in-1) series that I should see?
Go and watch game of thrones again ,only this time slowly n rewind any scene u do not understand.
Do this n i can assure u ur Life wud not remain the same again .
24 is very very interesting but game of thrones is out of this world.

Game of Thrones can only feel over-hyped to people that love simple plots. People hate what they don't understand.

I write fiction too, and that Game of Thrones storyline is so complex i feel it could only have been written by an alien or an insane person. lol! That's how good Game of Thrones is.

Asin!!!

I doubt if its written by one person sef. If it is then d person has a very high IQ or has one of those mental problems, that still leaves u very brilliant.

GOT is too good!!! Best seasonal ever. (See list below)
1) Game of Thrones
2) Game of Thrones
3) Game of Thrones
4)Family Guy
5) 24
6) How to get away with murder
7) One tree hill
cool Greys Anatomy
9) Power
10)Suits
11) How I met ur mother
12) Big bang theory
13) Marco Polo
Etc.......

Sometimes, I feel worried that I might never watch a TV series as interesting as GOT....

The way it plays with my emotions, the complexity of each character, smart Lord varys, littlefinger, Lord of light.... Ruthless cersei....

Till this day I still mourn oberyn, I mean GOT fans mourn characters in real life... And even protest on the Internet....


The politics is something else.... The quotes?... Na there you kill me finish....

If you talk trash about GOT... You're a cuntt *in sandor clegane's( the hound) voice*

@bolded GoT has only at most10 Episode per season and 24 (20+ episodes =9 season) if that's the reason you didn't watch the former over the latter.. I'd say you just didn't want to follow the frenzy and not because the series is long.


PS. The Op decided to add Game of throne and 4 others as the topic of the thread shows GoT isn't overhyped.... He could have just said 5 overhyped series in Nigeria and nobody will even open the thread.... grin tongue
Re: Game Of Thrones And 4 Other Series Nigerians Overhype by Kaycee7(m): 7:04am On Jul 30, 2017
All these arguments would be unnecessary if people just bothered to learn what kind of series they like and what kind they don't. No sane person should have a problem for you saying you don't like GOT. But calling it overhyped or bashing it is just wrong.
I have no comments on a lot of acclaimed and popular series because I already know they're not my cup of tea. I've also heard great stuff about HTGAWM & Suits but I simply picked my phone, did some googling and decided they weren't really my thing. You'll never see me bash them.
Even when I do decide to try out a recommended series, I do it with an open mind & patience. I try to finish the whole 1st season or at least 12 episodes before deciding whether to drop it. All I've been seeing here is " I couldn't get past 2 episodes ". My friend, when a series with more than 2 seasons, solid reviews and a sizeable fan base cannot interest you, it's simply not made for you. Doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the series or you.
