Can't compare with Game Of Thrones. 1. There is more fantasy(magic) 2. Not linear story telling (parallel story telling). This means that the story is told on two different times. When it cuts from one scene to another you might be going years change. So that's that. 3. Toss the coin to your Witcher, oh valley of plenty, oh valley of plenty... Good luck getting that song out of your head 4. GOT is mostly politics, the Witcher is not. It is more like LOTR, Good Vs Bad! However in GOT, it is not like that. You don't really know who is the good person. 5. It is a must watch. I finished the whole thing now I need more.
