Thankfully it holds little similarities to conventional fantasy fare. The fantasy is somewhat limited and focused much more heavily on the character interplay and politics of the kingdoms, though the fantastic is clearly not forgotten.

The show doesn't rely heavily on it's violence and it's sparing use actually amplifies it I think. The writing is great, based on a well respected book series, blah blah blah great show.

Seconded.

I like you.
