The world building is very solid and the source material is excellent overall. GRRM even has experience with writing for TV, so can help with adaptations.

What other good high fantasy shows are there? Wheel of Time and Rings of Power are much weaker.

Babylon 5 had half a dozen made for TV movies after the show ended. Some were good and provided a different viewpoint to a story that had been told before, some expanded, others were redundant retelling.

SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 is not as great as the first season, but it continues the same mold. During WW2 the SAS special forces unit is formed by misfits and extreme characters, who then conduct missions nobody else can. The soundtrack is lots of British punk, ska punk, and similar stuff. If you think watching borderline lunatic warrior poets kill Nazis, if they're not busy fighting amongst themselves, sounds like fun, give it a try. The testosterone overdose is offset by officers navigating the political structures, a french female spy, and a British crossdressing intelligence operative. Season 1 takes place in Northern Africa in the desert, season 2 in Italy.

A show about magic mushrooms saving the world sounds like a fun trip. The big pharma conspiracy on top is exactly the story a wook hippie you meet a psytrance rave would tell you.

The best time travel show I have seen. Fantastic storytelling, acting, sets, and cinematography. It has lots of depth and is worth a rewatch. If you like science-fiction or mystery, you will love it.

If you get lost with the timelines at some point, refer to the accompanying website.

Trump has achieved a ceasefire in Gaza. Some Palestinians are celebrating it as a victory.
