Worth it?
I've never seen 30 seconds of a single Game of Thrones episode. Is it worth it to dive into the Telltale spinoff? Will I be missing important references to the show?

As a fan of the show, I enjoyed the first episode a lot and it stayed true to the source material. But it is recommended to catch up with the show or else you will be missing a lot of key elements. Right from the start, the game spoils a huge event from the show. Telltale does try to familiarize newcomers with the lore, but it's not enough.
My advice: Try and watch the show to see if you like it(or the books), and if you do, chances are you will enjoy the game as well.
I've only watched the first episode of the show, yet I loved this. Maybe it's different between people but I'd say give it a shot ^_^
It's not necessary, but you'll get more out of the game, definitely.
Know of anywhere the series is available to watch?
Yes. This episode was amazing, I even liked it more than Zer0 Sum.
I would still recommend on diving into the books or show. The books are amazing and I just started the show and it's pretty good too. Other than them being amazing series, you will also get more of the nods toward them that happen in the game.
I've never watched the show or read the books and I enjoyed it. You'll need to learn how the universe works, but after that you'll be fine. Like all of Telltale's games, the story is contained in a bubble kept separate.
I'd watch it or read it up to book 4 or season 4, the show is what its based off so I'd recommend that, in fact season 3 if you want it to actuallly continue where season 3 ended though I think the game will spoil season 4
One could probably enjoy the game without knowing the book or show, but the overall context of the characters and their conflict will make a lot more sense if you know the source material.
If you watch the show up to the 4th season I think you would definitely find it more enjoyable.
Might be cool to see the characters from this angle before you see them on the show or in the books. Do it... Lol.
It was for me. Ramsay was clearly a head case before he met Ethan, but it completely shocked me when he just brutally murdered him like that.
I don't really have much interest in TV shows. I prefer playing games or watching a movie personally.
Once you've learnt the basis of this universe and how it works, I was fine personally. I mean, look at Ramsay for example. Your first encounter with him tells you he's insane.
Yeah I've already got one such site. The lead times, though, are tedious. I was hoping there was a site run by whichever company produced the series where the episodes were hosted. At least the first season or something. Guess not though
If you want that option, you'll have to wait until HBO Go starts offering their sub service.
