Game of Thrones (Seasons 1–8)

Game of Thrones is a landmark HBO television series that premiered in 2011 and reshaped modern TV storytelling. Set in the fictional world of Westeros, the series follows powerful noble houses locked in a ruthless struggle for the Iron Throne, while an ancient threat slowly emerges in the north.

The narrative unfolds across multiple storylines. The Stark family becomes entangled in dangerous court politics, power in King’s Landing is driven by betrayal and manipulation, and beyond the Wall a forgotten danger awakens. Meanwhile, a rival claim to the throne rises in the east.

The show gained global recognition for its unpredictability and willingness to eliminate major characters. Large-scale battles, detailed world-building, and morally complex figures turned the series into a worldwide phenomenon.

Season eight, released in 2019, concluded the story and sparked mixed reactions. Despite controversy surrounding the finale, Game of Thrones remains one of the most influential series in television history.
