You know a lot of people say this about a lot of different shows, but Game of Thrones is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best shows ever made… it’s damn near perfect (except maybe the last few episodes). (last season) and easily one of my absolute favorite shows! 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 fantastic that I still give it a 10! It’s one of the few shows that I can watch from the first episode to the last without getting bored. I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a more talked about and loved show in the history of television than GOT. Just read the reviews to realize how popular this show really is! It’s absolutely fantastic.
