Before Game of Thrones, fantasy was rarely treated as prestige television.
Then HBO brought George R.R. Martin’s world of Westeros to life — and the genre was never the same.
In this episode of Original Geek, we revisit the cultural impact of Game of Thrones, debate the best character arcs (Arya vs Daenerys), revisit the controversial final season, and explore why A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms feels like a return to what made the franchise great.
Was this the moment fantasy grew up?
Or did it lose its way?
Welcome back to Westeros.
