8.) Game of Thrones

What is there to say about Game of Thrones? The global phenomenon hit the airwaves and nobody ever looked back. It exploded in the first seasons and only grew. The character deaths seemed limitless. The drama was never-ending as high society families fought for power over a mythical medieval realm. Based on George R. R. Martin’s series ‘A Song of Fire and Ice’ the series lasted a remarkable 73 episodes. Many thought the final season seemed rushed and extremely poor quality compared to the first seven, but just the fact that it lasted as long as it did is incredible. There are 8 seasons of ‘Game of Thrones‘ to enjoy!

9.) Dead to Me
