Game of Thrones was the most culturally dominant TV show of the 2010s, the most popular show in HBO's history, and the most successful fantasy series in many years. Other studios and streamers tried to cash in by making their own high fantasy series, mostly to no avail. Fans seemed to enjoy The Witcher on Netflix...for the first couple seasons, until public opinion soured. Prime Video readied two high fantasy series: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which has largely been a let-down; and The Wheel of Time, which Amazon stupidly canceled just as it was finding its footing. Even House of the Dragon, a direct prequel to Game of Thrones, hasn't been the runaway success HBO was hoping for; its first season was widely praised, but fans were far more divided on season 2, and are currently in the middle of a two-year wait for season 3.
