Game of Thrones premiered in April 2011 and ended in May 2019. It is an adaptaion of A Song of Ice and Fire. The ending of the series is it's own interpretation because the book series has yet to be completed. George R.R Martin wrote only four out of the seventy-three episodes that aired thoughtout its eight seasons, "The Pointy End", "Blackwater", "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", "The Lion and the Rose". My favorite characters on the show were Jon Snow played by Kit Harington and Tyrion Lannister played by Peter Dinklage.
