Where to start with Game of Thrones

One television series, two prequels set generations earlier, and the novels the whole thing came from. The prequels are self-contained enough that they can genuinely be watched first, which is unusual, but the main series is the one everything else was built on the back of.

  1. 1
    Game of Thrones, series 1 Game of Thrones

    Ten episodes, and the one that made all of this exist. It is also the most self-contained series of the eight, so it is a fair test of whether the rest is for you.

  2. 2
    House of the Dragon, series 1 House of the Dragon

    Set about a hundred and seventy years earlier with an entirely separate cast, so it needs almost nothing from the main series. Smaller, more focused, and the better made of the two by most accounts.

  3. 3
    A Game of Thrones (1996) A Game of Thrones

    The first novel, and the series follows it closely enough that reading it after series one feels like a fuller version of the same story rather than a different one. It is where to start if the ending put you off the television.

Then what? After that: Game of Thrones runs eight series, and the last two are the reason this franchise has an argument attached to it: they overtook the books and it shows. House of the Dragon continues, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a smaller story set ninety years before the main series, and the five published novels go considerably further than the show ever adapted well.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
