Has there ever been a more over-analyzed show in TV history?

The Walking Dead must be close, but with Game of Thrones it was off the charts!

And ultimately, I think one of the the major sticking points between groups of lovers and haters of the show is the classic discussion of:

"The Books Were Better."

So you had fans of the original material who had been invested in the world and characters for years and then all of a sudden it becomes enormously popular the world over and then people become aggrieved because:

"We were here first" and "We liked it before it was popular."

Well. Cool. I dont think thats being contested but it isnt really relevant either.
