AOD 006: The Art Of Service – A Song Of Audience Entitlement

Game of Thrones has been, without a doubt, one of the most successful shows in history – the show enjoyed a lengthy tenure as the biggest attention-grabber on TV, right up until its finale.  Public attitudes toward the show seemed to sour towards the end, however, as swathes of viewers voiced their disappointment in the writing of the final series, particularly the ending to a journey they had followed for 8 years.  XV uses Game of Thrones as a launchpad into a discussion around "creative custody": is it the creator or the audience who 'owns' a piece of work?  As an idea matures does custody change over time?  Should it?  Will be revisiting the idea of "creative custody" in more depth in the future!  Highlist Entry: Micayl - Versailles
