I'll watch it but I'm not that into it.
If it ended tomorrow, I wouldn't lose any sleep and couldn't care less.

I binge watched all five seasons over a few days. I found some of the plot lines boring and some of the characters uninteresting. Also, although I think the acting in general was pretty good, there were a few actors in there that just left me feeling flat. I don't think Emilia Clarke is very good, for instance. Either her character is supposed to be bland and simplistic or she's just kind of a dud. She's smoking hot and yet she couldn't hold my attention in stories that were built around her character. I got the feeling that her middle aged groupie (Jorah) was going all hammy just to liven things up a bit and try to carry a scene or two. And the entire story line for Daenerys Targaryen during season five...ugh. Looking back at what actually happened during the season on her chunk of the show it's kind of amazing that they managed to bore me with it.
But I do like the show overall and I'll continue to watch it. I like that they moved Tyrion over with Daenerys. He's one of my favorite characters and I like the actor.
