There have been a lot of amazing TV shows ever since the dawn of technology brought the window to the world within the four walls of a room, but only a few stand out as truly iconic. These comparisons have become even more prevalent ever since HBO’s fantasy epic Game of Thrones hit the TV screens, setting a benchmark for all other programs out there. Every now and then we see a list being released, featuring the best TV shows of all time, and we can be sure to find Game of Thrones sitting high up on that list.
