Game of Thronesredefined the landscape of television. George R.R. Martin’snovels provided the inspiration for HBO’s most-watched show of all time. From its blockbuster nature and epic scope to its shocking plot twists and strong character development, Game of Thrones became appointment television during its eight-season run. House of the Dragon, the show’s first spin-off, is very similar to its predecessor, but with more dragons. Game of Thrones’ second spin-off,A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has taken a different but effective approach to Martin’s universe.
