There’s no discourse like Game of Thrones discourse, which is still going strong — for better or worse — years after the end of the series.

What do you think? I think I’d go with Game of Thrones, The Wire and Breaking Bad myself.
And apparently a lot of people agreed with me that Game of Thrones should be one of the choices, because the HBO show started trending on Twitter, with folks sharing some fond memories and passing around memes.
There were even some individual characters trending; at one point conversation about Cersei Lannister was loud enough to get on the board, which is only just.

And yes, there were plenty of people ragging on the ending, as well (which is perfectly fine, you can feel however way you want about it, all the usual disclaimers apply), but in the interest of staying positive, it was nice to see how many people remember the show fondly and still talk about it.
Plus, it bodes well for HBO, who are working on the prequel series House of the Dragon as we speak.
