Box Set of Game of Thrones

Such was our familial enjoyment of the first series of Game of Thrones that James pre-ordered the second series from Amazon so that we could start watching it as soon as possible. It arrived a few days ago and we have watched three episodes already. It's certainly maintaining the high standards of the first series and also the rather explicit sex scenes which are rather awkward to watch with one's teenage sons! During those parts I usually exclaim "My goodness! Not again! Is that really necessary?" to acknowledge its unsuitability, and the boys rightly ignore me. James has read all the Game of Thrones books which is quite useful because I haven't and he keeps me right about the large array of characters if I get confused. I am still reeling from the shock of the sudden death of my favourite character at the end of Series 1, especially surprising because he was one of the main characters - life is cheap in Game of Thrones! However the many intrigues and plots continue at an exciting pace and we are all thoroughly enjoying the second series.
