Looking back on Game of Thrones, it’s often a difficult watch. From disappointing plot turns to the famously divisive final episode – which still sparks debate almost seven years later – the show doesn’t always hold up. While many blame the final season for its decline, others point to season 6, when the show moved beyond the original books it was based on. It’s true that Game of Thrones was a hugely important and groundbreaking fantasy series, but if you’re looking for a consistently satisfying story from start to finish, there are other options that might be a better fit.
