There’s no denying that Game of Thrones is an iconic series. More than forty-five million people tuned in for the show’s final episodes. HBO is hoping that the Emmy voting body would honour the series, which shaped television culture more than any other series over the last decade. Though Game of Thrones’ final season was negatively received by both fans and critics and mostly became a meme material, fans are pitching in for honouring the series.
It’s been a while since a single show has dominated a year like Game of Thrones. HBO is beginning to plot a way to fill that massive hole in its slate, while it is rare to see the obsession and influence that Game of Thrones has etched on its fans.
