It is very popular and I have friends and family who are very into it when a new season eventually rolls around.
That’s what I was looking for, thanks! My social circle is not very big, hence I was wondering if “anyone knew anyone” watching it.
I don’t know if it’s release schedule has anything to do with the hype. Honestly I think there’s just a ton of TV and a lot of noise in channels about TV. And ‘cultural icons’ like the original GoT are quite rare now.
My brother and I chat about every episode when a new season comes out (sometimes we’ll watch them together too), and I got my partner into it earlier this year. I think most of my friends watch it, but as I said the longer release cycle means it’s not like a rolling “water cooler” discussion for us. It goes away for a while and we’ll get into other things and then as it gets closer to a new season the hype will start to build again and we’ll all be really into it for a few months.
Depending on your social media usage, it could also be that you just aren’t seeing the big online “fandom” that exists for the show. For example, there are some huge and very active communities on reddit that regularly talk about this show, but if you’re only using Lemmy then perhaps you haven’t come across that discussion.
