I've been binge watching Game Of Thrones all day on HBO.
It is obviously not set on Earth. It is incredibly brutal.
I wonder how true it is to ?Songs Of Ice And Fire?? ?
The first few seasons of Game of Thrones were very faithful
to the books. I think after season six it was then unpublished
stuff (outlines) by George R.R. Martin and original material
that was used to tell the story.
Did GRRM ever complete the series? I haven't heard it and figure I
would have if it had so assume otherwise.
It was claimed at the time that the last season of the show made use
of unpublished manuscripts from the author. though I'd be darned how
one could prove/disprove this assertion.
GRRM is sitting on book #6. And he is 77 years old.

The story is that he was giving the unpublished book outlines to the >directors. And then he would watch the show and change his mind for the
books before he wrote them.
Well, /that/ is an uncommon (not necessarily unique) approach to the
difference between book and screen, I must say.
Still, it would keep them from being mistaken for novelizations.
