Game Of Thrones
The prospect of adapting George RR Martin’s mighty and complex fantasy tomes – still unfinished, of course – must have felt somewhat like climbing Mount Everest while only wearing slippers. But thankfully David Benioff and DB Weiss kept their footing and they’ve managed to make one of the truly great shows of the 21st century. Violent, intense and exotic, the fact that Game Of Thrones also features dragons is just a bonus.
