I am really wanting to watch this however i dont know the content. If it is like "Spartacus" then i know my wife wont watch it. How is in terms of nudity and stuff like that?

There's lots of graphic violence, and even more nudity -- both male and female (but more female). Whorehouses are a staple of the 7 kingdoms, apparently. It doesn't have big, long war scenes like Spartacus. Most of the fights and killings are of a 1v1 nature, but sometimes they can be pretty gruesome.

Nothing is as bloody or has as much nudity as Spartacus. If you want your wife to get into the show, maybe go buy the book and you both read it. If you enjoy reading, I doubt you will be able to put it down.

You can also download the books on tape from a torrent, if you don't like reading. (or buy them)

Oops, I was actually thinking of the movie "300" when you said Spartacus. My bad. I don't think I've seen Spartacus.

Spartacus takes the style of 300 and pushes it way past the limit. The amount of blood, language,and nudity is so much that its comical.
That being said, the story is fucking awesome, and I anxiously await every Friday for a new episode.

I loved Spartacus its a shame Andy had to die of cancer, he was awesome in that role. Guess i will have to watch this series at work!

Game of thrones definitely has some graphic stuff, but its really not over the top. It's used appropriately. It's got a lot going on. Love stories, deceit, violence. There are a lot of stories to follow that are going on simultaneously. I am not sure which is my favorite, but my wife enjoys the plot of the Dothraki and Targaryen story line. One of the things that might make it off putting is just how MANY stories are going on at once.

Oh wait till shit hits the fan in season 2/3 there will be some big battles. I'm actually curious to see how they do them. So happy they got an HBO sized budget for the series.

Xeno just wants to sell Game of Thrones sex toys

I didn't realize this story is still very much in progress. The latest book, A Dance with Dragons, was only released in July last year and apparently it's only book 5 of 7. I couldn't stand not knowing what happened with Arya and Nymeria, so I read ahead a bit online. =P

I really hope HBO can keep this show going for 7 seasons. =/

Holy shit, I'll be almost 40 if/when it does make it to season 7.
