While some called this 'wholesome', a few also claimed it to be 'dystopian' and 'Twisted.'
Nonetheless, the internet is fascinated with this video which displays similar watching habits of neighbors.
I don't watch Game of Thrones stuff, but this is so cool! Imagine writing a show so popular you would see this. Who needs awards? https://t.co/cU8YM757eC

THIS is what event television should look like. THIS is why the week-to-week release format will always remain superior over binging. Let Netflix¡¯s business model die and let¡¯s embrace this once again. Imagine what kind of build up we could have if Stranger Things had this. #HOTD https://t.co/PGjXtlJZgB

Looks like a dystopian hellscape to me. People living on top of one another all being programmed simultaneously. https://t.co/6xxJbGu8dm

The video has received over 780,000 views since it was released late on Sunday night; even if the neighbors were unaware they were taking part, there is something delightful about watching this unique interaction.

It's also fascinating to see how each TV is located in the same spot in every apartment, making the experience of co-watching from a distance much more intriguing.
The eagerly awaited prequel to the "Game of Thrones" series that concluded on the streaming service in May 2019 seems to be HBO Max's "House of the Dragon." We'll have to wait and see how many of these neighbors tune in to the next episode, given the show's lukewarm and critical reception by fans.
