The show is set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, and follows multiple story lines that encompass a large cast of morally ambiguous characters. It uses mostly [[British]] [[actor]]s and capitalizes on the difference between the southern and northern accents spoken in the U.K.

''Game of Thrones'' has received widespread acclaim by critics, and gained a large active fan base. However, it has attracted criticism for its frequent use of nudity, violence, torture and sexual violence. For these reasons, [[liberal]] Hollywood elites have rigorously promoted it over more [[conservative]] HBO shows like ''The Sopranos'' or "The Wire". Prior to its premiere in 2011, the show was marketed as being a version of ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' for adults. This could also being attributed to Sean Bean, who played Boromir in ''Lord of the Rings'' and Ned Stark in ''Game of Thrones'' appearing in marketing for Season One.
