This is a Thrones subreddit so clearly there is going to be pro-GOT bias, but i've been struck while checking out the various "best of the 2010s" lists that different sites/publications are putting out right now, how relatively low Thrones seems to be placed (in some lists Thrones is borderline top 10, and i've seen it ranked as low as 30(!!!) on one list). it's also weird in the same year where there was such massive anticipation for the final season and the show won a Best Drama Series Golden Globe (undeserved for the season in question but still lol) how little fanfare there now seems to be for a show that at one point had a legitimate case to be considered among the best shows of all time and is seen as the last true "EVERYBODY has seen it"/watercooler show
Still, in your honest opinion what other shows that's you've watched this decade matched or surpassed Thrones' overall run quality-wise? in the various lists i've come across, recurring names like Fleabag, Atlanta, Breaking Bad, The Americans and The Leftovers keep popping up among others - of these i've only seen Atlanta and Breaking Bad and i think both are deservedly higher although Atlanta has only done 2 seasons so it hasn't had to try to keep churning out solid work for 5+ seasons (and inevitably drop in quality as a result)
random thought: catching Thrones clips on YouTube and re-watching the Tyrion/Dany scene in Season 7 where they talk about Drogo/Jorah/Daario/Jon, and the "he's too little for me" Jon Snow dig reminded me of the 5 or 6 "Kit Harrington is short" jokes that D&D put in the final 2 seasons - hell their only on-screen cameo in the series was for them to laugh at one of these jokes as Tormund said it in Season 8. they literally seemed to put more thought into making height jokes than coherently wrapping up the series lol
