Sophie Turner Admitted She’s ‘Never Watched’ Game Of Thrones, Then Tried To Explain It. The Result Is Hilarious (And Not Wrong)

by

Since the final season of “Game of Thrones” aired in 2019, Sophie Turner has been staying quite active. Her recent project following the HBO series was a mini-series titled “Joan“, centered around a well-known jewel thief. However, when reflecting on the show that catapulted her to fame, she amusingly attempted to summarize its plot despite never having watched it (and she’s not inaccurate).

The acclaimed TV series “Game of Thrones,” available through your HBO Max subscription, is renowned for numerous aspects. Its graphic death scenes, soaring dragons, and grand betrayals have redefined fantasy television, sparking countless discussions among fans. Interestingly, the show’s star, Sophie Turner, admits she hasn’t watched one of HBO Max’s top shows herself. Yet, on the “Dish Podcast,” she humorously attempted to summarize the series events, and surprisingly, her account isn’t entirely off-base.

To be honest, I haven’t seen the series myself. However, I do have a good grasp of my character, who is rather unsavory to say the least. It revolves around rival royal families battling for power, with dragons being a key element. That pretty much sums it up.

Instead of Samuel L. Jackson’s witty analysis being the epitome of spot-on comments on Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner’s succinct summary stands out as the ultimate winner. After all, she’s correct that dragons hold significant importance and family rivalries are at the heart of the series – a clear, concise way to entice friends to tune in.

It’s quite astonishing that Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones, hasn’t seen the series herself. Given that she was part of its filming, I assumed she would delve deeper into the complexities of Westeros for a better grasp of the overall fantasy setting. It’s possible she concentrated solely on developing Sansa’s character and that was enough for her preparation. Regardless, her ability to embody Sansa so convincently without watching beyond her own storyline is a testament to her immense talent.

Sophie Turner, who starred in a highly successful series, might not want to watch it due to its fame. On a podcast, she revealed that attending premieres and watching herself could lead to a prolonged bout of depression for her. I too would find it challenging to be my own critic if I had to review my global performance. You can catch Turner’s interview on TikTok in the link provided below.

Though Sophie Turner hasn’t seen Game of Thrones herself, I’m still amazed by her spot-on summary. She mentions dragons and feuding families – clearly, no further explanation is needed. As an Emmy nominee, she doesn’t need to watch the HBO show. After all, she experienced it firsthand.
