What would Badgers do?
The last episode will be Ned Stark waking up back at Winterfell in season one before Robert Baratheon arrives

I re watched in decent quality earlier because I'd only watched the mediocre leak at early o'clock. Lots of little bits I'd missed, Tyrion filling Gendry's cup to the brim, Jorah's weirdly awkward sword accepting etc.

Breaking Bad was pretty massive but didn’t enjoy the same degree of worldwide TV distribution. But the climax of the final season got people as excited m, at least those who watched it.

Thinking back, at the point old Ned got his head lopped off was when GoT entered the realm of something special.
To have its main star be put to death by one of the best baddies on screen really got everyone's interest.
Imho Joffrey was the best baddie of the series- Ramsey was psychotic and Cersai is an arsehole, but Joffrey was a snivelling coward who got others to do his dirty work. At least Ramsey got stuck in himself

I'd say LOST was right up there to begin with, although it prob lost it's appeal towards the end (not to me, but seems to be common consensus).
It was event telly and utilised the internet for theories and the like in a way that wasn't really done before.

The hardest part of writing a big sprawling multi character fantasy or sci fi it tying it all together. Battlestar Galactica and Lost are two well known for having "lost the plot" in that they really wrote themselves into places they could not get out of. In books it can be as bad or worse (Wheel of Time anyone, LotR is also famous for its never ending end). While the writing is not as good as the first few series they also have one hell of a challenging job to tie it all together and do so in a pretty small amount of screentime. I honestly expected this series to completely fall apart this series, the cracks were definitely showing in seasons six and seven.
Two episodes in and they have actually done a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of bringing a large number of smaller but popular characters to near resolution of their story arcs. Now they can get on with the big action sequences to close off the two main plot strands (the Iron Throne and the war with the dead) over 4 long episodes and pushing the main characters to their final end.
Three weeks ago I expected to be pretty grump about the show by now.

I've just caught up!
I got to halfway through season 5 whenever it was first out. So in just over a week I've managed to watch season 1,2,5,6 and 7 and the current series.....also managed to go to work and go out and do a food shop!

. In my defense they look vaguely alike.

Vague memory of BBC teatime news showing footage of the not-yet-broadcast reveal episode arriving at Heathrow under supposed armed guard. I suspect the reach was broader than GoT - references to it were everywhere.

the Guardian didn't devote 27 pages and two colour supplements to it tho!

No.
Magic innit. A glamour as known in other fiction.

Blimey. I hadn't seen that. I'd still guess that 'Who shot JR?' was more widely known/discussed in England than 'Is Bran actually the Night King?', but it's hard to prove one way or another (or take seriously enough to insist on reliable metrics of audience recognition or engagement). Only Fools & Horses finale apparently has the British viewing record, but I cant remember that being marketed/talked about in the same way as either Dallas or GoT.

High Empress of Dressing Up
At the risk of stating the obvious, Who Shot JR? Was a single question with a linear answer format.
GoT has at least five big questions and the answer to any of them could be: “that question is going to be rendered irrelevant.”
And then, Dallas was one of only three things to watch in the UK at the time. It had a comparatively captive audience.
