Q: Is it like/a replacement for Game of Thrones. A: No. It doesn't take a book and a hald to get to the point, and the show doesn't take three seasons to arrive at one either. Also, there's less unhealthy interest in young girl's virginity on the part of a grotesquely overweight author, so stop that. Stop that now.

Q: Is it like the game? A: It has the same characters. You have your answers

Now go, be free and know that the show is in the vein of classical sword and sworcery adventures; more akin to the shannara chronicles, or even conan. Not the bloody king in the north.
