After a gap of nearly two years, Game of Thrones, arguably the biggest television show on Earth, returns for its final season. The first episode of the eighth season premiered on April 15 in India, streaming on HotStar. While the last episode of the last season ended with The Night King and his army taking down the Wall with an undead Viserion, the first episode of the eighth season has kept them at bay, though not without giving us constant reminders of their presence.
