• Again and again we meet with ambitious American politicians and ordinary people with their everyday racism, ignorance and other vices. Again, we find creepy symbols left at the crime scene, and hints of the occult. And each of the characters that flashed in the series is important for the plot.
• The denouement of each series can be shocking and completely unpredictable, but it is quite logical.

• The biggest series of the 21st century is close to completion, but the controversy around it will not subside for a long time. After all, the audience loved the world of the Seven Kingdoms too much with their intrigues, the most charismatic characters (both living and not so), dragons and dire wolves.
• Even in the Moscow metro at the Delovoy Tsentr station, there is an Iron Throne that anyone can sit on.
On May 20, the whole world will know how will game of thrones end. The final eighth season of Game of Thrones turned out to be very controversial. So much so that viewers started a petition calling on HBO to remake it with different writers. Since the current ones (Benioff and Weiss) allegedly failed to cope with the task. And without the original source – the books of George R. R. Martin – they could not create such an ending that would be a worthy conclusion to such an epic saga. So far, the petition has garnered over 930 signatures.
