I personally don't understand how non-readers can follow the story. There's so much information thrown at the viewer at once, and it can be hard to understand who's who and what's happening---especially if you accidentally miss a line here and there.

This too. I only picked up new things on my 2nd and 3rd reads too (of the whole series so far that is). Read it many more times since then as well and may have picked up even more nuances each time.
For the length of the episodes and the series they are having to fit a lot in at once. I am enjoying it (ignoring the always inevitable annoyance of certain small changes, but it has been pretty true to the book and I know why they had to make the changes), great atmosphere and casting especially. They have caught the tone of it.

But for me it was the same with the books too. At first I couldn't keep track of who everyone was and what was happening exactly. I couldn't even remember their names...But after a while everything started to make more sense.
I guess they just have to watch and pay attention to all the details and after a few episodes they'll also understand everything better...

Yeah, when I watched a re-run with my mom, I put on closed captions and said I PROMISE I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN WHO THESE BLONDE PEOPLE ARE THEY KEEP CUTTING TO I KNOW IT'S CONFUSING.

Speaking of which, they really should have put the scene with Ned and Catelyn first and then introduced Cersei and Jaime because everyone I watched with went WHO IS THAT DEAD GUY AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW OR CARE?

lol I don't find it too hard tbh, except for the names.

You know, I thought that, but all the non-readers I know who are watching it seem to get along fine (including my mom, which is saying something. She found True Blood deeply confusing, so I assumed she'd have a hard time with GoT, but she seems happy enough).

HBO is known for having shows with lots of characters doing lots of things, though (True Blood, The Wire).

I actually haven't been having too much trouble following along... they just don't use names enough so I can say 'so-and-so's' kid, but not their names. I think I understand parts of the backstory and relationships though I'm sure there's tons more to learn.

I'm totally torn between picking up the book now or waiting until the first season is over and then reading it.

Well that's good to know! I'm glad non readers are enjoying the show too.

Read along with the episodes? I know a couple people that are doing that.
