I've just downloaded the first episode of Game of Thrones to see what I think of it. I usually end up watching stuff months (or years) later after the hype has died down. Have also downloaded the first episode of The Sopranos. Did the same with True Detective and Breaking Bad, thought both were excellent...
I found the first two episode ok, but by the third one I was hooked. I'm now up to date and waiting for the new series to arrive next year.
Crowan, it's called added entertainment 😉

Which bit? The climbing?
Yes! They have to make things more exciting than they would be in real life 🙂
They also made it 'more exciting' than the book which has the climbing done correctly. I suspect it is simply because (1) the directors and script writers knew nothing about climbing and (2) they therefore made the assumption that no one else did either.
In my opinion, it would have made better viewing to see it done in a sensible way - and still go wrong, as it can - than to see it in a way that makes anyone watching able to think, "well, that was stupid of them!"
