Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plot lines and
a large ensemble cast but centers on three primary story arcs. The first story arc
centers on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts
among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting
for independence from the throne. The second story arc focuses on the last
descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, exiled and plotting a return
to the throne. The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood
charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce
peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north, and an impending winter
that threatens the realm.
Game of
Thrones has attracted record viewership on HBO and has a broad, active,
international fan base. It has been acclaimed by critics, particularly for
its acting, complex characters, story, scope, and production values, although
its frequent use of nudity and violence (including sexual violence) has been
criticized. The series has received 38 Primetime Emmy Awards,
including Outstanding Drama Series in 2015 and 2016, more than any
other primetime scripted television series. Its other awards and
nominations include three Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic
Presentation (2012–2014), a 2011 Peabody Award, and five nominations
for the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama (2012
and 2015–2018).
