Brief Explanation

When a great TV series kicks off a new season, real fans get ready by re-watching previous episodes, while new fans look for easy solutions to catch up. Sky is here for both. However, when it comes to the most spectacular TV series ever, a marathon-viewing session on the sofa just isn’t enough.?For Game of Thrones, any marathon needed to be as spectacular as the series itself. So here is The Marathron. A group of marathon runners crossed Italy following a huge screen mounted on the back of a lorry that broadcast all the episodes of the previous seasons.?An extraordinary feat that lasted the duration of the entire first six seasons and proved the passion for Game of Thrones knows no limits. A stunt that turned people watching a TV series into a series to watch. An idiomatic expression into a real event.
