Reply to comment by just_a_funguy in Why have dramas like Breaking Bad and the Sopranos remained relevant while others such as Lost and Dexter remained in the 2000s? by LakeMcKesson

I’m not saying Lost is the primary influence on the content of GoT, I’m saying Lost proved that it was feasible to make a big budget genre show on TV. Yes, Rome existed, but it also got cancelled for being way too expensive. Lost actually ran for multiple seasons and kept a pretty huge following. That’s the difference. LOTR isn’t a TV show so not sure what to say there
