You know, a lot of people say that about a lot of different shows, but Game of Thrones is, without a doubt, one of the best TV shows ever made… it’s pretty much perfect (except for maybe the final episodes of the series). last season) and one of my favorite shows of all time! Yes, the last few episodes of season 8 weren’t that good and the ending was just awful, but the first 7 and a half seasons were so amazing that I’m still giving it a 10! This is one of the rare shows that I can watch from the first to the last episode without getting bored. I’m pretty sure there has never been a more talked about or loved series in the history of television than GOT. Just read the reviews to see how popular this series really is! It’s absolutely incredible.
