[NO SPOILERS] Is GoT a "TV show?"

Alternative title: how much of a satisfactory conclusion do individual seasons have?

I've never seen a single GoT episode, but the Witcher recently got me hungering in for more fantasy shows. Problem is: I'm really not a fan of TV. Specifically, how most shows have a soap-style lack of narrative resolution to them, making the story feel incomplete instead of part of a larger whole. I much prefer the movie format of a singular tale with a beginning, middle, and end. Bite sized entertainment.

So my question is, to all you who've seen them: how does the first seasin stack up as its own entity? Does it tell a compelling tale by itself, or does it only work in conjucture with the rest?

To put it another way: if the show had been canceled after season one, would you have been extremely ticked off (due to cliffhangers, unresolved plots, etc)? Or would it still hold up as a standalone experience?
