Based on the widely popular A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones is not just a show, it’s a cultural phenomenon, the like of which we’ve never seen before and might never see again. During its initial run, every episode would break the internet, with reaction videos, theories about upcoming episodes and fan discourse about the ending engulfing social media. You really had to be there.

Creator: David Benioff, D.B. Weiss
