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 TV shows ever created… it’s damn near perfect (except for maybe the last few episodes of the last season) and easily one of my favorite shows of all time! Yes, the last few episodes of Season 8 weren’t that great, and the finale was awful, but the first 7 1/2 seasons were so amazing that it still gets a 10 from me! It’s one of the rare shows where I can watch it from the first episode to the last and never get bored. I’m pretty sure there has never been a show that is more talked about or loved in the history of television than GOT. All you have to do is read the reviews to see how much this show truly is loved! It’s absolutely amazing.
