I resisted the temptation of Game of Thrones's oeuvre for 13 years. All through the TV run, all through the fallout of the last season. I thought maybe it was overrated. It's not. It really is just that good.

It was alright. It's a good introduction to the problems and to the mathematicians behind them, but doesn't go into enough detail to either truly entertain or inform.
