Today, over fifteen years after the finale aired, it continues to resonate with viewers (even if certain elements do betray their outdated 90s setting)....

Game of Thrones may have ended, but fans are still learning about everything that went into making the series - including the surprising fact that the Lannisters were originally designed as Samurai warriors. One of the most powerful families in Westeros (if not the most powerful, throughout the series), House Lannister held King’s Landing until almost the very end: first, with Cersei (Lena Headey) as the power behind Robert Baratheon’s (Mark Addy) throne, then through her children....

Friends was a sitcom that took the 90’s by storm, and often contested as one of the very best right along with shows such as Seinfeld, Frasier, and Mad About You. But one of the main differences between Friends and all of those other shows was that while it was still a comedy, and a great one at that, none of the characters seemed as though they were really meant to be funny....
Friends could have had a very different main couple had the creators kept their initial plan of having Joey and Monica get together – and it would have been super weird.

The series followed a group of six young adults (Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Chandler, Joey, and Ross) living in New York City and navigating through adulthood as best as they could....
