I sincerely don't understand the hate. I had fun, but I suppose it just wasn't a crowd pleaser. I loved the visuals, the characters, the humor, and the acting.

Game of Thrones is the last popular show. It is the last show that you can ask anyone about and they will know something about it. It captured a wide audience before video streaming services with their massive libraries catapulted into ubiquity and fragmented viewers that shows like Lost once united. GoT is a complex and sprawling epic that tapered off at the end, but no one will doubt its ambition and cultural impact. Its legacy will be cemented in television history.
