Is Game Of Thrones Worth The Hype?

Game of Thrones is everywhere.
Primark have a range of clothing and decor for Game Of Thrones.
POP! have Game Of Thrones figurines.
Everyone is talking about it so should I watch Game of Thrones.
The thing with me is everyone could be watching something and I will not watch it because of the hype then I give up and start watching and don't think it is as good as everyone says for example everyone who read the Fifty Shades series were going on about it being really bad, really raunchy but all I could think is how badly written it is and I expected it to be really sexy but nope.
Running time is between 50 to 80 minutes each episode of Game Of Thrones so do I have time really to be watching this or even catch up.
