Responsible for phrases like "winter is coming" and "valar morghulis" entering the common lexicon, its mix of backstabbing plots, dragons and 80s action movie levels of sex proved irresistible for 'one-more episode' binge watching.

The show also made global stars of its ensemble cast, with the likes of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and Maisie Williams becoming household names, with Peter Dinklage going on to win an Emmy for his role as Tyrion Lannister.

If you're looking to return to Westeros or dipping in to the show for the first time, then HBO Max is one of the popular platforms where you can watch Game of Thrones.
