Ask not for whom the game thrones; it thrones for thee.
This weekendGame of Thrones, the television show that invented death, finally ends.
Now you might move on, at leastuntil the prequel starts.
What should you watch next to scratch that itch?
It depends on what youll miss aboutThrones.
Breaking Bad,Mr.
Heres what the Lifehacker staff recommends you watch next, and why.
Well, thenDeadwoodis for you.
Do you miss Rob Stark?
Look no further than NetflixsMedici: Masters of Florence.
The second season focuses on the most famous of the Medicis, Lorenzo The Magnificent.
The show does takes plenty of liberties with historical facts.
This is in no way related toGame of Thrones, but its never a bad time to re-watchThe Sopranos.
I put it on whenever I need pure, silly escapism, neatly packaged in 16-minute episodes.
I have watched it four times now.
Episode fivethe one with the skeleton songis my favorite.
Im going to do a complete 180 and extract myself from the fantasy world for a bit.
Who am I kidding, though.
Robot, and just about every other show that required turning up the brightness on my TV.
Maybe the body count on GoT is higher, but Im confident youll acclimate just fine.
And with season 2 about to end, you have plenty of time to catch up.
And my favorite part was watching everyone jockey for positionmy favorite characters were Varys and Littlefinger.
I dont need the sex or violence, I need more of that deft maneuvering.
Which is exactly what youll get from the first few episodes ofBorgen, the Danish counterpart toThe West Wing.
For those of us who are going into the last episode dragging our nails, pop in the audiobooks.
The narration is great, and each of the five books is between 30-50 hours.
In between listening, watch HBOs behind-the-scenes of each episode.
After that, you might watch every movie any of the characters has ever been in.
