Game of Thrones features an intricate plot with complex characters, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences, especially its numerous battles and fights. It's hard to deny that it wasn't a cultural phenomenon that captivated me and many others for eight seasons.

I've rated Game of Thrones a nine out of ten for its well-written, multi-layered narrative and fantastic production value

However, despite it still having amazing visuals and extremely high production value, like many fans, I was disappointed and to some extent frustrated by the final season's narrative and how certain plot points were handled, which has dropped my rating from a ten to a nine. Despite this, Game of Thrones remains a must-watch for me and I would still highly recommend it to any fan of the fantasy or drama genre in general.
