Game of Thrones season 2 is artful and adult.
Game of Thrones is doing for sword-and-sorcery what the remake of Battlestar Galactica did for science-fiction on TV, and what the Godfather series did for the gangster story: foregrounding its mythic power, and showing that the genre can be brazenly serious, even ostentatiously artful, and unquestionably adult, without killing its simple pleasures. In one of the new episodes, Tyrion tells an enemy whom he’s exiling, “I hope you enjoy the walk. I found it surprisingly beautiful, in a brutal, horribly uncomfortable sort of way.” He could be talking about the show.
