And I consumed seasons one and then two subsequent holidays as part of our gift exchange in the annual tradition.

And just loved the show.

I thought it was just sensational.

The writing is like God-tier.

The performances were wonderful.

I really thought both seasons were excellent.

I thought season two was like

spectacularly good.

I still have not read any of the books.

And so I, you know, that is obviously different to how I typically am covering text on this pod.

But I'm kind of looking forward to it a little bit.

Actually, there's something very different about, you know, thinking of the experience exclusively through the lens of what I am consuming inside of each episode.

So I did have a moment, as you know, because I said it on the pod, like a week and a half ago, right before speed.

I was like, should I read it?

Kind of too late at that point, honestly.

But maybe one day I still will.

But I have not.

And, you know, I'm already looking forward, like I said, after the season two gift exchange.

Like, I'm already excited to, like, re-watch the show and spend more time with it kind of again and again.

Because especially just the richness of the language.
