Brit box is how we get these shows. So it’s just a chain of rights. BBC gets money from them for licensing.

Having said that, it really has zero impact on content creators that I choose to download it rather than waiting however many months for it to arrive here on other streaming services. Fuck those corporations and their pointlessly entangled rights.

I can also find shows that just aren’t available to stream anywhere.

I read the book after the show started and it was a good complement to the show. The story is told based on accounts as read by a Maester, so lots of conflicting events and accounts. Which makes the show fun to see what “really happened”. It helps a lot with knowing the characters, especially with how quick the first episodes felt.

Plus it’s worth it just to get up to where Jaherys has the great council to support Vesarhys. I did the audiobook so I can’t spell shit.
