In this episode, James is taking George back to where it all began and revisiting the first four seasons of Game of Thrones, arguably some of the greatest television ever made.
How well does the show hold up today? Is Season 1 still as brilliant as we remember? What makes the characters, world-building and storytelling so compelling, and where does the show fall short? We dive into the biggest moments, best performances, most shocking deaths and unforgettable episodes, while asking whether the first four seasons really deserve their legendary reputation.
And, with the benefit of hindsight, just how big was Game of Thrones? Was it simply a hugely successful TV show, or one of the biggest cultural phenomena in television history?
We revisit everything that made Game of Thrones appointment television. How good is it really? And does it still stand among the greatest shows of all time?
