Great to hear you're doing really well.
I've heard of the TV show as they're advertising it here, but it's on cable so I can't watch it. What's it about?
Are you anywhere near a beach to visit?
You can watch it on the Internet. There are links on WF, and there's also a site where you can watch it via a link ala something like Youtube. (Youtube itself doesn't have the full shows, only scenes)

One important thing, be VERY careful in looking up information on this show. Basically don't do things like type a characters name into google because that could give something away. This show is based on books, so everything that you see, even things from season 2 that hasn't even aired yet is already known to numerous people because of that.
In a nutshell, the story is about power. It's about a conflict for power.....basically. It's amazingly deep though and intensely personal. Here are some videos.

That's the making of, and here's videos on who the Houses are and a bit of the world.
I have to post this the inconvenient way because the embeded way isn't working for some damn reason

The last 3 videos are shit quality but they still get the point across.
You SHOULD watch these videos because they will be VERY helpful. It's complicated, it requires some knowledge beforehand. This is more than enough.
This series is huge.....and I mean HUGE. It's going to end with 7 novels, and book 3 has more pages than the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
Oh, and for fucks sake, don't look at the comments when you watch these videos.....just in case of spoilers. I don't know if there are any, but be safe.
