Game of Thrones undeniably holds a place as one of the most influential shows in television history, leaving a lasting impact across various mediums. More than four years after its conclusion, the series remains a significant topic of discussion, but not always for the best reasons. That said, the series has one of the most unique Emmy wins that no future TV series might achieve.
Game of Thrones achieved success through its compelling storyline and exceptional world-building, captivating fans for over eight years with intense anticipation and excitement. Sadly, the series concluded with Season 8’s final episode, widely regarded as one of the most disappointing show endings in the history of mankind.
Game of Thrones Possesses A Unique Emmy Win Unlikely To Be Achieved By Any Other Show
According to Entertainment Weekly, Game of Thrones stands as one of the most impactful series in TV history, characterized by multi-million dollar budgets, epic sets, costumes, and a narrative centered around warring families and kingdoms vying for ultimate power. The show received critical acclaim, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series four times, and for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Directing twice each.
However, there is one particular Emmy win that Game of Thrones which no other show in history got and is unlikely to replicate anytime soon. That’s the fact that the show won the Outstanding Music Composition For A Series in 2018 and 2019, making it the only show so far to bag two Emmy Awards in that category so far. Ramin Djawadi truly helped compose one of the best opening themes of all time.
Game of Thrones Creators Ended The Show Earlier Than Originally Intended
Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who were initially celebrated as some of the best showrunners, have faced significant criticism primarily due to the perceived poor ending of Game of Thrones in Season 8. The decision to conclude the series after the sixth season, despite HBO’s desire for more, and the subsequent handling of the conclusion have led to widespread ridicule and a tarnished reputation for the once-praised dynamic duo.
While speaking to The Wall Street Journal, George R.R. Martin revealed that he fought against David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and wished for the show to run at least 10 seasons. Unfortunately, he just wasn’t able to through to them in the end.
“I was saying it needs to be 10 seasons at least and maybe 12, 13. I lost that one.”
Game of Thrones will forever be remembered as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of television and there is no way to rectify that issue, even if some fans wish David Benioff and D.B. Weiss remake the last few seasons somehow.
