I think I will soon start watching the series Game of Thrones, but I would like to know what category of viewers it is suitable for, from what age one can watch it... I would love to hear your opinion ;)

I recommend you watch this series when you're 16-18 years old... Overall, the series is understandable, but some scenes (sex and violence) are particularly graphic and hard to watch.
However, if you've already watched shows like Vikings or Spartacus, you will find it easier to watch GOT.
Don't you have a logo on the box? ;-)
When they talked about Game of Thrones on Nolife, it was in the context of "under 16."
No clue from the CSA. After that, I don't know, it always depends on the kids and their sensitivity... I don't know if someone under 16 would handle the "crowning" on the "last dragon" by Khal Drogo XD ^^
I didn't spoil anyone, hee hee
When life brings questions, Google provides the answers.
Software is like sex; better when it's free.
like the books, you will have a bit of an idea of what you are going to see in the episode. Personally, I started by reading the books and then I at least knew what to expect, so I didn't have any bad surprises.
I watched it at 39 (the entire series) and I was shocked by so many scenes (teenage rape, torture scenes with severed genitals, among others)... yet I am not someone sensitive.
I don't think it's suitable for teenagers at all, for a developing brain.
Of course a teenager is "capable" of watching (it's a series, you remain passive in front of your screen), but with what consequences on the development of their personality and their own reference for typical behaviors among adults...
So I would really say not before 20 or 25! There are still plenty of other series choices, this one is the most violent I've seen (even if I really appreciated the storyline and the acting of the characters).
If you want to dive into Game of Thrones, know that the series is mainly aimed at an adult audience. It contains violent scenes, pretty intense moments, and mature themes. Generally, it is advised for ages 16-18 and up. It really depends on your sensitivity, but if you're comfortable with these elements, you're sure to love it.
