In the seventh season, Daenerys and her dragons are on their way to meet their enemies face to face at Westeros. Cersei Lannister has managed to destroy all her major rivals and, in the process, flattened a good chunk of King’s Landing, and Jon Snow is back from the dead and out to win the North with the help of his half-sister Sansa.

But will any of these mortals be able to conquer the biggest threat of them all? The otherworldly army of Nightwalkers, led by the evil and blood-thirsty Night King, is growing in size and power every day.

The complex web of noble houses and characters means it’s hard for anyone other than a hardcore fan to keep the Game of Thrones storyline fresh in their mind, which is why now’s the time to watch the series from the very beginning.

All six seasons of Game of Thrones are available to watch only on streaming service Showmax. With two weeks to go and 60 episodes to catch up on, that’s an easy four hours of bingeing a day – totally doable.
