By Mads Lennon
2. Game of Thrones (2011)
Original Release: April 17, 2011 – May 19, 2019
Ratings: Game of Thrones is considered one of the most, if not the most, successful television series.
Critical Acclaim: Game of Thrones has won numerous awards and remained critically acclaimed throughout its entire run. Although some fans may disagree at times with the show’s quality, it still reigned supreme from beginning to end.
About the Role: Margaery Tyrell is a popular character in both the book and television series. Margaery’s role is more significant in the television series than in the books. She becomes a prime adversary to Lena Headey’s character Cersei Lannister later in the series.
Simply the Best: Dormer is the best Margaery fans could have asked gotten. Many fans loved her relationship with Sansa Stark and often considered her a bright spot in the political games and intrigue ongoing throughout the show. She is introduced in Season 2 as Renly’s newest wife. She is fully aware that Renly is in a secret relationship with her brother.
Where Margaery’s storyline truly gets interesting is after she marries Joffrey and becomes embroiled in a battle of wits against Cersei Lannister. Margaery is one of the few people who doesn’t underestimate Cersei and the only one who knew what she was planning with the wildfire in Season 6. Sadly, not enough people listened to her.
