Context is Key

Like most people, I was glued to my tv watching the final season of Game of Thrones. This isn’t a long-winded commentary on what did and did not work, who should have been king, lived or died. This is about context. If you only watched the first six seasons you would say it was a brilliant run – slow-burning, character-driven, dripping with tension at every moment.
