Game of Thrones is no more, but it will remain in the memories of avid tv show watchers for a long time to come. And it will re-watched many times. Heck, it was so complicated that you have probably already forgotten about most of the intrigue of the first season.
It is the truth that no other movie or series seems quite like it, and nothing is going to beat it, but still, the rumours are alive regarding some of the shows which might take the place of Game of Thrones.
