The Iron Throne is in the King’s Landing, in southern Westeros, and three houses – the Starks, the Lannisters, and the Baratheons – fight for it. There aren’t any references to Earth, but there is human politics, with the story taking turns with each episode. There is magic, and there are dragons, and also, the mother of Dragons – waiting to get her legacy back. The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros are always at war for the Iron Throne and thus, expect a lot of violence (and gore).
Set up in the fictional continents of the Known World, most of the action takes place in the continent of Westeros and Essos. If you haven’t read the books, let me give a quick summary before I tell you where to watch Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is a fantasy TV show that airs on HBO and is based on a series of novels, A Song of Ice and Fire.
