Game of Thrones may not be leaving behind the legacy it was hoping.
The HBO series, which ended with its eighth and final season in May, is still top of Google months later – but not for a very positive reason.
Thanks to a Reddit campaign, the show sits at the top of the search engine if you type in "bad writers".
The effort has been the handiwork of one user who created a post titled "Bad Writers. Upvote this post so it's the first result when you google 'Bad writers'" and, sure enough, their plan worked.
This means that when those who aren't aware of this post search "bad writers" into Google,Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss will be the first faces they say.
The final season of Game of Thrones proved controversial among fans. While the HBO show continued to amass record-breaking views right up until its finale, many criticised the faster-paced nature of the final six episodes.
Despite this, George RR Martin – the author of the novel's source material – remained supportive of the duo throughout.
Benioff and Weiss will next work on a brand new Star Wars trilogy.
Game of Thrones is available to watch on NOW TV. You can find a compilation of every character – from worst to best – here,
