This is kind of a weird take, GoT is not even remotely similar to LotR in style, themes or narrative.

Medieval fantasy. The similarities may end there, but the point is it's a mediocre medieval fantasy that leans heavily on tits to keep the audience watching.

So is Breaking Bad just Seinfeld with drugs, because they are both set in modern USA?
