It's Officially The End Of An Era For George R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire

Before Game of Thrones, the fantasy genre had a very different place in the TV landscape, largely being considered a children's genre and given less attention than HBO's masterpiece dramas like The Sopranos. However, Game of Thrones changed TV forever, adapting George R. R. Martin's epic high fantasy book series with an enormous budget and star power, making many of its actors into household names and remaining quotable even today. Plenty of TV series have tried to copy Game of Thrones, but the franchise is still expanding, outshining more recent shows.
