Storyline:
Game of Thrones takes place on a fictional continent called Westeros in a time who-knows-when where the land is divided into a bunch of kingdoms and when we jump into Season 1 we learn they are all ruled by one king, Robert Baratheon, whose second-in-command Jon Arryn—the post is called "the Hand of the King"—was just murdered, so King Robert sets out for the North to ask his old buddy, the honorable Ned Stark of Winterfell, to replace Jon as the Hand but Ned was wary because, you know, murder and all, and he'd be away from his wonderful family—wife Catelyn, sons from eldest to youngest heir Robb, curious Bran, and very young Rickon, daughters princess-wannabe Sansa and tomboy Arya, and bastard son Jon Snow as well as all their oversized direwolf pets—but Ned ultimately agrees take on the role that's good because Robert needs someone he can trust since his wife Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister are sketchy and totally having incest sex which isn't all that weird for this show because family relationships are weird in Game of Thrones and if you need more proof there's Danaerys Targaryen (call her Dany) and her brother Viserys, who is exiled royalty from the regime that ruled before Robert, who lived in secrecy in the nearby sandbox continent of Essos and the weird family stuff comes in because Viserys tries to sell Dany to a barbarian horde known as the Dothraki so that Viserys could use the Dothraki as an army to regain the power that was in his family's right until Jamie killed his father, "the Mad King"—but Viserys never actually gets the power he's so hungry for because he gets killed by Dany's doggy-style-sexing barbarian husband, Khal Drogo, and Dany eventually siezes power of the barbarian horde, which she plans on using to re-take Westeros, which has its own problems after Robert (the king) dies on a hunting trip and Robert's idiot son Joffrey takes over the throne even though he technically has no right to it because he's actually the son of his mom Queen Cersei and his uncle Jaime, which Ned (the Hand) discovers, announces, and is subsequently thrown in jail and later beheaded for in front of his daughters, including Sansa, who is betrothed to Joffrey (ugh) who really starts being a jerk when he becomes king and that upsets everyone so other people claim to be king including the late Robert's brother Renly and Robb Stark, who goes on to capture Jamie and get lots of support from other lords in the North unlike his bastard bro Jon Snow who's headed north to the Wall and joined a team of outcasts that's tasked with keeping all sorts of things like ice zombies (actually they're Wights, and have been frozen for a long time but are now awakening) from messing things up except the zombies ARE starting to mess things up and unfortunately for everyone Joffrey is too concerned with his own crown to bother with ice zombies, and all we can hope for is that Joffrey's new Hand of the King, his cool, alcoholic, smooth-talking, sex-addicted dwarf uncle Tyrion, can talk some sense into him but it might not even matter at all because pulling the strings behind the scenes at all times are a eunuch named Varys and a pimp named Littlefinger and they both have incredible amounts of sway when it comes to keeping order in the realm, which might be in even bigger trouble because in the season finale Dany hatched some dragon eggs and one thing you don't want to do is mess with a pissed-off teen queen with three dragons on her side.
