With the series ending on a very controversial note 3 years ago, fans are still curious to know how to watch Game of Thrones in 2022. Well, we have jotted down all of that information for you guys. The series is a fantasy drama that has every literal genre inside that you can think of. Be it action, thriller, suspense, or romance, this series has it all. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss created the series.
The plot is based on the fantasy novel series by name, A Song of Ice and Fire. They are written by George R. R. Martin. Filming for the series has taken place all over Europe and the United States. We have a total of 8 seasons of the show with us. A spinoff is to release soon. It is called A House of Dragons.
Game of Thrones starts in a fictional world called Westeros. Through the course of the series, the plot takes various turns and focuses on the lives and arcs of each character. By the eighth and the final season, half of them are dead and soon, the remaining half are set to die as well. The narrative of the series is divided into three parts. The first one focuses on the people and various houses in Westeros who are fighting against each other in order to establish peace throughout the seven kingdoms. Then we have the second story going on in Essos with Daenerys Targaryen who was exiled to Essos after her father was killed.
The third storyline focuses on the Night’s Watch who are living far off on The Wall which protects the realm from unseen creatures and dangers. Most headlines were made by the last season of the series. Many considered the story as a very disappointing ending. The directors faced backlash for taking a very creative turn and not following the footsteps of the original books.

Plot
We saw that Daenerys Targaryen started from scratch. She literally had nothing except her three dragon eggs which later hatched into dragons. She united the Dothraki clan, then she got an army of the unsullied and freed every being from slavery in the country. She conquered places like Mereen and Astapor and then came back to Westeros to claim the throne as the rightful heir.
Although, she did not win the hearts of people in Westeros. People here love John Snow even though they respect Daenerys. After a while, it turns out that John Snow is the son of Daenerys’ brother Rhaegar Targaryen and Liana Stark. Although, King Robert would have killed him if he knew the boy existed, and thus, Ned Stark raised him as his own bastard.
When Daenerys burns the entire King’s Landing and claims the throne, she is killed by John Snow who claimed to be her biggest supporter and lover. Well, Drogon takes the body of its mother and melts the iron throne with Dragon fire. It is symbolic of how all of this happened just for the greed of the throne and power. Well, if you want to know more about the plot, then I suggest you start watching the series from the aforementioned platforms.
