The 360 | ‘Game of Thrones’: Epic or epic failure?
Speed readWhat’s happening: “Game of Thrones,” HBO’s epic fantasy series based on the novels by George R.R. Martin, aired its final episode on Sunday night. Since debuting in 2011, the show has become one of the cultural touchstones of the internet age. It has set ratings records and been the most popular target for illegal downloads. “Game of Thrones” has won a total of 47 Emmys and was named Outstanding Drama Series three times.
Detractors, many of them devoted fans, argue the series lost its way in its later seasons, when the show’s timeline began to outpace Martin’s books. A petition calling on HBO to remake the final season has reached more than a million signatures. The emphasis on massive battles, they say, has undercut the character development and relationships that made the show great in its early seasons. There is also criticism of the program’s treatment of female and minority characters.
The final two books of Martin's saga have also yet to be published, though there’s concern he may never finish them.“Game of Thrones” is one of the best shows of all time
