Along with the ways it served as a lightning rod for the cultural zeitgeist, it also felt unique in its storytelling, blending together lush fantasy, political intrigue, epic battles, complex characters, powerful friendship, steamy romance and dysfunctional families, all into an addictive cocktail that may have left a bitter aftertaste, but is still a concoction many of us crave. Still, even for those who found the ending disappointing, some may find themselves missing Game of Thrones. For eight seasons, it enthralled its massive audience with its tales of scheming families battling for an Iron Throne in a sprawling kingdom ravaged by brutal violence and populated by frozen, undead monsters and fire-breathing dragons.Īnd then, just like that, it was over, with a landing that more splattered than stuck. While appointment TV viewing used to be a regular thing back before the days of streaming, by the time Game of Thrones rolled around, it was rare to find a show that felt like it captured the attention of everyone you knew at the same time, every week.
Regardless of how you feel about the polarizing finale of Game of Thrones, there’s no denying that for the years it aired on HBO, it was a cultural phenomenon like no other.
