The hotly-anticipated prequel to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, has had fans glued to their screens as they delve deeper into the world of Westeros.
If you were thinking of re-watching the classic Game of Thrones saga in preparation to tackle the new series over winter, you can now get paid $2,000 to do just that.
Fantasy fans will be paid the handsome amount to sit through 40 hours of our favorite shows, including The Witcher, The Rings of Power, House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones.
Yet another prequel, this time to the widely popular The Lord of the Rings trilogy, (and The Hobbit) hit our screens in September, and it's believed a second season is on the way.
If you're up for your own epic quest, USDish.com is looking for one lucky person to watch 40 hours in total from the four series in 30 days.
You'll need to chart some key points, including "creativity of the show's world," "believable characters," "overall uniqueness of show plot," "difficulty understanding the show or keeping up with the characters" and give them a ranking to help "determine whether the Targaryens, Elves, or Witchers deserve the top spot."
And the fantasy fan will need to "provide a short review vlog of House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power."
Crucially, you'll be tasked with re-writing the ending of Game of Thrones, which was widely panned.
"Give us a summary of how GOT should have ended and we'll publish your version on our website for all the Thronies to see," the job ad said.
The finale of the 8-year show, in 2019, drew audiences of 19.3 million, according to Forbes.
And it broke records, as the site noted some 13.6 million people "watched the episode on linear TV, a new HBO high mark, making GoT the most-watched program in network history."
It also smashed the 15-year record set by The Sopranos season four premiere in 2004, with 13.4 million viewers. While The Sopranos previously held the record for a HBO finale, at 11.9 million.
In comparison, Forbes stated nearly 25 million viewers had watched the first episode of the Game of Thrones spin-off, which was released in August, in the first week.
USDish.com is interested to find out who knows their orcs from their witchers, saying: "Tell us why you would be the perfect fit (a video of yourself will garner you extra points).
"Did you watch every episode of Game of Thrones when they first came out or did you binge watch it on HBO Max?
"Have you read the first The Witcher short story published in 1986, played The Witcher when it was released on Xbox and have been watching Geralt of Rivia on Netflix ever since?
"Can you recite all of the LOTR songs by memory? Whatever makes you the truest fantasy fan, we want to know about it."
If you're not signed up to the various streaming sites, or have gaps in your DVD collection, USDish.com will provide you will all the episodes you need, along with snacks in the form of a swag box valued at $350.
