Another great series, but much more adult one is “A Game of Thrones” by George RR Martin. The age of dragons and the walking dead has begun. The seasonal weathers are not your ordinary quarterly cycle seasons. Summers last for decades and winters last a lifetime. The battle to hold the reigns of the coveted Iron Throne begins. Game of Thrones takes place in the classic setting of the extravagant medieval-English wealthy families fighting for power.
Lord Eddard Stark, Warden of the north, isn’t excited to hold the commanding position of “the hand of the king.” In fact, he considers it a curse more than a blessing. Stark serves the mad king at a time when murder is a beautiful thing to behold, and free will is revered more than honor. Eddard Stark; and Lord of Winterfell and his wife Lady Catelyn have a bunch of kids, each with their distinct character traits. They raise a bastard son Jon Snow; two beautiful daughters Sansa and Arya Stark and a younger son; Bran.
The Lannister household consists of the head of the royal army, Lord Lannister and his crazy children; the drunkard dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, Cersei Lannister who commits incest with his brother, Jammie Lannister.

Drama unfolds when the young and inquisitive Bran Stark eavesdrops on Cersei and her brother Jammie Lannister having sex.
