Game of Thrones
There are some television shows that gain intense popularity out of being completely different from the norm. Whilst there are so many television shows out there, not all of them manage to reach every audience. So when a television show came out that was set in medieval times, it shocked everyone just how popular it became with so many different groups.
In 2011, HBO came out with the medieval fantasy drama Game of Thrones. It might seem like a simple enough plot, but this intricate, gruesome and passionate series aired until 2019 and had every single person reeling for more. In an age of reality television and sitcoms, Game of Thrones somehow managed to successfully capture an audience.
