How Game of Thrones Stole the World’s Attention
by Thomas Langer Game of Thrones toursThere
are a number of different ways in which the series that is Game of Thrones
shines, and it is these areas of great mastery that have allowed the show to become
one of the most loved television programs. From both a viewership and international acclaim
perspective, the show has achieved great things—and it is actually quite easy
to see why it was met with such a positive reception from its viewers, too.
How the Show Trumped Every Other
The
show itself actually managed to achieve viewership of over 19 million people
for its finale at the end of season 8, and throughout the course of its life,
it was continually praised for its incredible themes and plot points. This, in
turn, has arguably made Game of Thrones one of the most popular television
series ever aired, and is also largely responsible for the incredible number of
awards and praises that the show received over the years! Indeed, Game of
Thrones won the most number of prizes ever at the Primetime Emmy Awards for the
drama category, and had numerous other incredible achievements throughout its
lifetime as well. But what was it about the series that actually stole the
world’s attention, to make it one of the most popular television series ever?
In
short, it can be argued that the biggest selling point of the show is due to
its sheer unpredictability. A common concern among viewers and critics alike is
that characters that are important are often blessed with “plot armor” that
allows them to wriggle out of the tightest situations. This was not the case in
Game of Thrones, where main characters were regularly killed off (especially in
the earlier seasons) leaving everybody on the edge of their seats.
In addition to this, the show thrived thanks to its excellent mastery of the “medieval realism” theme. The writers and producers made it so that viewers could connect with and empathize with characters, despite the outlandish setting and plot, which was a real selling point of the show for sure.
Everyone will have a different opinion on what it is that made Game of Thrones so special.
