Why it’s a Friday Night Flick
Audiences adore it (8.5/10), it won 5 Emmys, it ran for 8 seasons and people are still talking about it. Make plans for this one.
Our take: For most of its run, the biggest show on Earth: political fantasy with real consequences. Its final season remains one of TV's most argued-about endings.

Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Friction between the houses leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond.
