The blood-spattered tale of noble families vying for the Iron Throne has just one episode to go and buzz is at fever pitch.
A giant Iron Throne was displayed in New York ahead of the “Game of Thrones” final season – although just who will end up ruling from it remains one of the show’s enduring mysteries.
While many will watch at home, perhaps with a goblet of Dornish red wine and a punnet of Braavosi cockles, thousands will celebrate and mourn the show’s denouement at viewing parties in bars, banqueting halls and backyards from Alaska to Armenia. Airing in 170 countries under its portentous tagline, “Winter is Coming,” the show is also the most expensive ever, with a budget of US$15 million per episode in its final run.
Critics said it marked a return to form, with the narrative allowing female characters to demonstrate complexity and moral agency lacking in some of the earlier seasons.
