Totally agree, Game Of Thrones is good but I think Sparticus is a more realistic experience, I know that it is different times but the actual portrail of events is a lot more graphic and realistic in sparticus.
Still I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

Sky Atlantic is great, but they seem to import a hell of a lot of programmes I cant watch with my parents!

BoB is one of the best TV series I have ever watched (And still watch every so often).
Specific was okish, but it lacked the personal element that BoB gave, and as such became just another war series.
So far loving the new HBO stuff on Atlantic. Like Boardwalk and so far lovin Thrones. Had reports from my gf's dad that Blue Bloods, Treme and one other which I cant remember are a good watch too.
Finally Sky veiwers get something freeview and the other rabble cant!

yep, it's better in many ways but i think the fact that you follow the one group from basic training through to the end of the war practically, is the biggest thing. a great watch if you're stuck at home ill or something. when i re-watched recently i relised one guy is in Fringe also.
so many of the american series i was watching got the can though... 4400, Kyle, Heroes (went down sharply after the first series / writers strike), i'm sure there are others i can't remember. Hopefully they won't kill off too many of the big names in Thrones and it'll be back for another series ? the books span a huge time period apparently.

Also loving Game of Thrones here, got a friend supplying the episodes to me as I don't have Sky Atlantic (or Sky anything actually), also reading the book. Interestingly, more-so than anything else I've read & watched, the series follows the books incredibly closely. The only real exception is that they have aged some of the characters a few years to make it more socially acceptable as well as better eye candy... e.g. Danaerys Targaryen (sp?), the khaleesi (Horse-people queen) is meant to be 13/14 years old during the course of this story.
I can recommend it as an excellent read as well as a good watch!
