I’m saying whole way through. There’s not a show still going on right now that id genuinely recommend watching before Thrones.
At this point, not seeing Thrones is like not seeing Star Wars, LOTR, Potter, etc. Whether or not any of those things are your absolute favorite or not, they’re all so engrained in pop culture that I’d say they’re essential viewings.
If we opened this up to shows that ended within the last 5 years I might put Breaking Bad above it. But even then, I think Thrones has left a larger cultural impact that Breaking Bad.
Definitely wasn’t saying it’s the only show on worth watching. Am saying in 10 years people will remember Thrones before black-ish, The Good Place, Handmaid’s Tale, Twin Peaks, Master of None, etc.
