To celebrate our milestone of reaching 100 episodes, we've dedicated our 101st to discuss high fantasy TV series that critics & reviewers have dubbed as contenders for "The Next 'Game of Thrones.'" "GoT" ended 2 years ago in 2019 & with HBO's prequel series "House of the Dragon" releasing in 2022, we thought this would be the perfect time for this topic!

The four high fantasy TV series we discuss: "The Witcher" (out on Netflix), "The Wheel of Time,, "Lord of the Rings," and "The Chronicles of Narnia"
