In a little over 24 hours we would be bidding adieu to the year 2014, and now is as good a time as any to take stock of the happenings during the year.
In television, on can hardly doubt the cult status HBO’s Game of Thrones has achieved within its four years in existence. The sprawling saga, based on George R.R Martin’s even more expansive novels, ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, has taken the mantle of televisions finest; and it reflects in the number of illegal downloads that occur for each episode week in, week out.
Thus Thrones takes the title of most pirated show of the year, according to data released by TorrentFreak. Zombie drama The Walking Dead comes second, with CBS’ hit comedy The Big Bang Theory rounding up the top three.
