And unless there is a major divergence from the book, not as much incest. I would put it as in-between LOTR and GOT in terms of grittiness. There is way more magic than either of those two as well.

Certainly season 1 is going to have more in common with LOTR than GOT. It was a very straight ahead book, and got more evolved and intricate as the books progressed.
