The Letter for the King Review: Netflix's Game of Thrones for Teens Is Better Than How That Sounds

When Game of Thrones ended its eight-season run last May it left behind not one void, but two. The HBO series began in 2010, three years before Netflix's House of Cards ushered in a new era of streaming series. The phenomenon of bingeing a season all at once would chip away — first a little then a lot — at live TV, marking the beginning of the end for watch-in-real-time shared cultural phenomena.
