It's here. The "exclusive sneak peek" of Game of Thrones premiered about two hours ago on HBO, and it's online for your viewing pleasure. This covers the very beginning, from the wilds beyond the Wall to Winterfell, roughly the prologue and Bran I from the book (minus the direwolves, fellow ASoIaF fans, sorry--that scene is probably right after the cut off).
Warning: This, and all of Game of Thrones, includes direct depiction of intense violence and bloodshed. HBO rates it as Mature Adult, and for quite good reason.
The production value is breathtaking. Looks so much more like film than TV. Also, the bits and pieces of the Stark children are wonderful; the added in bit with Arya (Maisie Williams) is the most impressive and true-to-the-spirit not-from-source-material-but-well-placed bit I've seen in an adaptation in a while. Starting off with a bang and following through; definitely addicting.
Two weeks until the premiere. April 17th, 9pm ET/8pm CT, HBO.
