Game of Thrones

Synopsis

Probably the most watched TV show of the 2010s, Game of Thrones completely changed the balance of power on television.

The story begins in the north of the Seven Kingdoms. The Lord of Winterfell, Ned Stark, is waiting for his ally Robert Baratheon, the king of all these lands, to visit. Upon the arrival of the Lord with his retinue, a meeting began at which things happened that influenced not only the fate of the Seven Kingdoms, but the fantasy world as a whole.

Since fantasy was considered a despicable genre up until the premiere of Game of Thrones, it was difficult to hold back tears while watching most of the fantasy TV shows previously released. However, the new TV show completely changed the rules of the game. This brutal fantasy TV show spares no viewers’ feelings, killing even its most popular characters when the story demands it. While spoilers for Game of Thrones were almost like some sort of crime, many TV viewers greeted each new episode of the TV show. Surprisingly, the TV show’s finale divided its audience into two camps.
