You know a lot of people say this about a lot of different shows, but Game of Thrones is absolutely, hands down, one of the best television shows ever made… it’s pretty close to perfect (except maybe the last few episodes where the final season is) and definitely one of my favorite series ever! Yes, the last few episodes of season 8 weren’t that great and the finale was just terrible, but the first 7 1/2 seasons were so fantastic that I still give it a 10! It’s one of the few series that I can watch from the first episode to the last without getting bored. I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a show in the history of television that has been more talked about or loved than GOT. You just have to read the reviews to see how popular this series really is! It’s absolutely fantastic.
