You know, a lot of people say this about a lot of different shows, but Game of Thrones is definitely one of the best TV shows ever made…it’s almost perfect (except for maybe the last few episodes). The last season) and just one of my favorite shows ever! Yes, the last few episodes of season 8 weren’t that great and the ending was just awful, but the first 7 1/2 seasons were so amazing that it still gets a 10 from me! It’s one of the few shows where I can watch it in its entirety from the first episode to the last and never get bored. I’m pretty sure there has never been a show in the history of television that has been talked about or loved more than GOT. You only have to read the reviews to see how much this show is truly loved! It’s absolutely incredible.
