Are you binge watching it? I started at the end of season 2, went back and watched the first two seasons then onward during the run. My fav char was Ned Stark since I like Sean Bean's acting in most stuff he's done, including his ES:Oblivion voice acting. If you think the story is dark now... hehehe
