GOT was way more interesting IMO. YEah it didn't have the budget HOD has and it shows. BUT, the world building from GOT was awe inducing. The families/characters, the fucking White Walkers, The Wall, just very mythological and awesome. All that trumps HOD imo. I have no problem waiting a day or two to watch HOD, I don't think enough happens that I need to watch it the moment it premieres. GOT hit different in the best possible ways.

Not to mention the characters wree more interesting. I don't think HOD has any cool characters. Deamon might be the only one. But outside of that, literally no cool characters I love or hate to love, etc.

HOD has dragons, and that's awesome tho :)
