I think its a combination of TV getting better, audiences expecting more and the decline of cinemas.
GOT showed that if you have a truly grand idea you can make billions with a tv show. Audiences want more than the old school "This guy is bad, this guy is good" storylines and who cares if its 3 hours long when most people have 60 inch 5k displays and can pause whenever they want.
Most people have 60 inch 5k displays?
Ah, the things you learn on the internet!
I know right...guess I'm not most people.
Hyperbole
You can also learn some really cool literary devices if you can spare the time.
Really missed the sarcasm on this one. Glad to know it was there. ;)
