TV Series: Games of Thrones

A show with an Impact!

When it arrives it arrives like flu, no matter where you go there is a little whisper at every corner. Winter is Coming from past six years every summer June and will come for a few more in future. Wondering what I am talking about it’s the highest pirated television show across globe common “GAMES OF THRONES” has been leading the way, gaining an audience that spans across high- brow and popular culture and seeps into our conversations in all sorts of strange ways. Games of thrones may seem like torture porn dressed up as pseudo-historical drama to the ones who don’t follow it but it is no less than a religion for its followers. Just how great it feels to carry a world with you that only you and people like you understand.






Like for some “hold the door” means just a command and for some it is carrying a heart wracking tale. Games of thrones has managed to drive people berserk ever since it aired on the television for the first time, you can either be a games of thrones fan or you simply don’t watch it at all ignoring it is something cannot be done. The drama and the passion, the technicalities and the hypnotic Vfx, the characters and the magic, unveil the setback the theories and our common love for the important is all unmatched. For me Games of thrones is like that mad trip you get into and when you come out of it, well you never come out of it.  It creates a world that we vicariously navigate in every sense – from the topographic opening credits to our love-hate relationships with the complicated (and not always comprehensible) characters. And we’re emotionally invested in what happens next. The alluring, if somewhat frustrating, element of Games of thrones is that just when you think you see a thread, the show proves you wrong. Central characters are killed, psychopaths claim power, wedding becomes bloodbaths, and bad guys develop consciences as time passes. The twist and turns of the plot lock us in, and the developments that are impossible to anticipate give us a dopamine rush that keeps us coming back for more. I am explaining it all above just to make you understand what the entire madness is about. It’s not been even a year since I started watching the above that took on a friend’s recommendation. With least of my interest, in this weird and amazing show I began watching it. By the time I realized what it is about, to me it was an addiction! I am not a fan who is writing all this in fact I consider myself a tough critic of show who gradually with time started appreciating the content. Trust me it is way too weird to digest but if you are capable enough doing that you really are one of those with a great taste for art and drama. There was nothing that has been made similar to games of thrones or probably even if it has been, it is not the same as games of thrones.
