But one new project looks promising and has everything it needs to be truly exceptional.
The series concluded with Gendry Baratheon becoming the last known heir to Robert Baratheon’s legacy. He rose from humble beginnings as a blacksmith in Flea Bottom – the poorest part of King’s Landing – to become Lord of Storm’s End after Daenerys Targaryen legitimized him. Gendry first appeared in season one, working as a blacksmith, and was later revealed by Ned Stark to be Robert Baratheon’s son. He quickly became a fan favorite throughout the show.

In Locke, actor Tom Hardy takes on a very different kind of role than his typical action-packed performances. It’s rare to see him play an ordinary family man facing a series of difficult challenges. The thriller, directed by Steven Knight, has received critical acclaim, boasting a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.1 rating on IMDb. Locke is essentially a one-man show, and its recent popularity on streaming services demonstrates that a film doesn’t need a large scale to be compelling if it’s well-made and features a strong performance.
