Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones was one of the most famous shows in history, which was in part due to the scale of their visual effects. The CGI became more sophisticated with each passing season, especially when it came to Daenerys' dragon. Subreddits devoted to the show joked that every time a direwolf was killed off, it had been sacrificed to the "Gods of the CGI budget," implying that the SFX required to animate them was too expensive.
