I love a good web series. I especially love a good web series that is a clever re-interpretation of a familiar franchise. Enter in 'School of Thrones', a new web series that uses the characters of George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice & Fire' books & HBO's 'Game of Thrones' TV series and re-imagines them as current high school students. Instead of family clans, we have high school cliques. The Stark family always does things vintage (as in the old way), so of course they are the hipsters. The Targaryen's are outcasts, so of course Danaerys would be the artistic new girl. Renly is the homosexual cool kid, and Stannis is the religious zealot nerd loner... and of course the Greyjoy's are the swim team! And the Lannisters, lead by Bieber lookalike Joffrey, are the ruling family of the school. This series has so much potential... after all, Prom is Coming!!!!! I also want to point out just how hot young redhead Sansa is. Wowsers!!!! Click here to subscribe to the Youtube page of School of Thrones, and tune back in every Sunday at noon for the newest episodes. Great potential, great execution, and I for one will be looking forward to see what they do in the future...
And here are some character posters:
