This show is broken into two eras: the Martin era (seasons 1-4), and the D&D era. The Martin era is absolutely magical and among the best television ever made but the rest is diminishing returns until the disaster that is season 8. Shocking deaths and epic battles were never the point of this political drama until all character, plot, and tone were stripped away and effects were all that remained. I'm not sure how to recommend as it might have the least satisfying conclusion in TV history.

Far and away the best thing on TV circa 2016. It's rare that a show can go 6 seasons and still be so fucking good. I can't even put into words how good everyone is here. There's no real main character (sure, you can say Jon Snow...but Dany, Cersei, Tyrion and Arya get as much screen time) and still, each story line is great on it's own...supporting cast at it's best! Beyond great characters, the key to any great series is to keep the audience guessing, and it does this in spades! Fuck season 8

Welcome to Westeros, the land where all your childhood fairytales about good triumphing over evil comes to die - painfully. You may need to be a masochist to keep watching it, but it offers one of best dramas ever to grace the TV screen, and not just within the fantasy sub-genre.

Game of Thrones Seasons 1-4: Look at how these morally complex & intelligent characters fight each other for power through the use of political intrigue, deception, and military strategy all against a background of a supernatural threat that serves as a metaphor for modern-day climate change and watch us tell this story in a way that leads to surprising yet earned plot twists and the shocking deaths of many major characters. Game of Thrones Season 8: Who can we get to bone each other next?

Game of Thrones is as much a game of dominoes as chess, as much a tumultuous political drama as it is an elaborate ensemble piece, as much an expertly crafted saga with exceedingly fine-tuned performances - even from the youngest actors, if you can believe it - as it is an extraordinary production teeming with gorgeous cinematography, stirring music, fantastic costuming, and arresting sets, locations and visual effects.

Abundant entertainment. The series draws you in. I wait with anticipation for each new installment. A few story lines disappoint, but most are great. Interesting & shocking developments. Frequent twists & turns. They're not afraid to kill off their lead characters. So many awesome characters to get invested in, and hate. Many side plots moving to inexorable confrontations. I absolutely love the series. Some of the writing is spectacular. Excellent performances. One of my all time favorites.

As the series catches up with the books and key storylines omitted or changed, the series continues to get a lower score. Edit - season 6 has officially dragged this out of tier 10. Nice job completely shitting the Dorne storyline. Edit 2 - Season 6 redeemed itself, which I didn't think was possible. Edit 3 - later seasons shit the bed almost entirely. Scored dropped again. It still remains one of the greatest shows in television history in scope and significantly cool events.

A tough show to rate because it's so uneven. The great moments are really well done and the bad moments are really miserable. If you haven't read the books it's understandable if you can't understand what's going on. I like how they started to deviate from the books as they are going to have to because there's no way hamplanet George RR Martin lives till the end of its 7 (possibly 8) season run.

Attempts for power, for supremacy and continuance of its existence, all gets collided into itself by that which in its wake always pursues something similar. Those who stay go mad or are too drunk to see what's there. A eunuch, a nobody, a midget, a cripple and someone who doesn't know who they are make quite some distance.

How on earth do I rate this mess? The first 3 or 4 seasons are truly excellent & ambitious adaptations of a seminal series of books. Then it gradually descends into an almost farcical mockery of some its initial core ideas. Not to say it's all bad or without ent. value but as one of those annoying book fans I found it hard contain my disappointment & just enjoy the spectacle. Represents a monumental industrial point in many ways, which sadly turned out to be the most interesting thing about it.

Starts off as peak fantasy House of Cards, keeping interest by demolishing tropes and building up unlikeable characters. Unfortunately both GRRM and D&D learned the wrong lesson from the RW and tried to replicate that "oh fuck" moment instead of coherently wrapping it up. After the S4 finale the quality deteriorated with the exception of a handful of these extravaganza moments, with great dialogue and characters sacrificed for CG explosions and zombies. S1-S4: 85 / S5-S6: 65 / S7: 20 / S8: 10.

The stench of HBO is very apparent in this show and many moments in the show were pretty idiotic topped by bad writing, only to get worse with each season. Sometimes, though, the show does have moments where it does shine and the performances are pretty good by a lot of the main cast. I've seen this sort of show done better before, so I can't really find myself becoming too attached to it. I honestly feel like it'd be much better if HBO didn't get their hands on it.

I really enjoyed season one. Two was trash. Three didn't redeem it. That's where I stopped. I just didn't want to be annoyed at how retarded the writing was anymore. Some of the acting was top notch, but some was unwatchably bad. Seriously Aidan Gillen, how do you go from such a great and nuanced performance in The Wire to this. Just a terrible performance.

The last season of this show is what lowers this from all-time classic to merely good. It's not that the plot choices are bad; it's that the storytelling ones are. GoT thrives on slow pacing that builds tension for when shit goes down, and the final two seasons undo that formula too much to be very redeeming. Still, it's worth a watch for its incredibly high production values and great world building. It tackles some interesting modern issues in its medieval setting as well.

This show started off fantastic, with infinite potential culminating within the first 4 seasons. Once season 5 hits all continuity and logic falls out the window. An opportunity missed, but is still a wonder to behold for the fantasy genre. Would definitely recommend, but falls short of greatness.

One of the greatest TV shows ever made, full of moments of genuine genius throughout its run. The decline from S5 to the disastrous S8 cannot be ignored however. Whilst some critiques of S8 amount to not much more than ‘I wanted it to end exactly as I dreamt’, the narrative missteps & character gutting are almost painful. Dorne was probably the warning sign than when pushed D&D would bottle it big time. Sadly tainted. S1 - 92. S2 - 90. S3 - 96. S4 - 85. S5 - 69. S6 - 80. S7 - 76. S8 - 55.

TV: the opening seasons focusing on the original 'hard fantasy' medieval drama led to complex imaginative unmissable entertainment. Thereafter despite increasingly normielised filler plotting (much less nous and sex but plenty clumsy retcon) the spectacle remained though the drama lost its lustre. I even appreciate the final season wrt most char arcs, but goddamn, eight years of edging only to end with so many 'botched story angles' that even WWF bookers had to hold back tears! A modern tragedy.

One of the most over rated series of all time. I've seen now three entire seasons and still waiting when the action starts. The only interesting storyline is the dragons. One of the few real fantasy elements in the Middle Ages series. I decided to see the series till the end and it improved a lot towards the end. Quicker they get rid of the burden of the books the better.

Set in a rather bland high fantasy world (with zombies and dragons; It's not Tolkien-imaginative), GoT is, at its best, an unpredictable, suspenseful and sophisticated epic of political intrigue, with Shakespearean elements, a huge cast of characters and an unusual level of sex and brutality. At its worst it's exploitation meets soap opera, rife with TV tropes and contrivances.

Come children and gather as you are shown one of the greatest anti-fairytales this world has known, as good struggles to survive the dark world of Westeros. The high marks of the show's production value evidence the fact that we are truly in the golden age of television. Each 45 minute mini-movie builds the stories of the characters we love to root for and also the ones we love to hate, which are all then subjected to their number one threat, which is not each other, but Martin's sadistic mind.

If nothing else it made Game of Thrones books (which are real gems of masterful storytelling and character generation). Some of the cast are better than perfect they added to the characters in the book (Snow, Tyrion, Cersei, Theon, Daenerys to name a few), the gore and sex were not always "dosed" well and sometimes felt like the equivalent of clickbait. When the book arcs were over and they went their own way, there was a considerable drop in the quality and the impact of the material.

With LOTR as the one notable exception, I'm not really into fantasy anymore, but, although I found several of the seasons to be an extremely mixed bag, GoT was always more or less worth watching for some undeniably great production values. And I, for one, thought that s8e03-s8e06 were solid and relatively satisfying. | Favorite season: S1 | Favorite episode: probably "The Door" (s6e05) | Favorite character: Tyrian

Brilliant, complex, dark, violent, moving, engrossing, highest quality! Just tad concerned by wobble in S7 (prob having to go 'off book' & accelerate pace -> SLIGHT sloppiness) Really hope S8 wraps things up @ flaming, roaring, sizzling level the show maintained thru first 6 seasons. PS. WISH ALL TV SHOWS WERE SPLIT INTO SEPERATE ENTRIES PER SEASON HERE on CRITICKER. Not this, but some shows range from 5* to 2* quality in different seasons & thus hard to rate/review in 1 entry.

The series as a whole reached some of the highest highs in television history, but also had some real disappointments. It definitely faltered as it made it past the books in terms of story, but there was still a whole lot right going on the last few seasons. Even with its polarizing final few episodes, this is still one of the all-time greats.

An extremely expensive, flashy and in-your-face with the boobs and beheadings kind of series. Who hasn't heard of this? There's plenty to say about it and critique and it's not undeserving of praise. But maybe that's the problem, there's a lot to say about it because it's tried to cram in a lot of characters, narrative arcs, themes, storylines, locations, cinema styles. Eventually you're prone to lose interest in most of it except for a few favourites (ie. Tyrion). That's what happened to me.

As someone who ordinarily hates this type of quasi-medieval setting, Game of Thrones has consistently impressed me with its approach to storytelling and its top-notch acting. The writers know how to make the viewers crave the next episode. That doesn't absolve the series of its flaws, though. At times, the harrowing violence descends into misery porn. (One major character spends several seasons as a tortured captive. Another gets raped for shock value.) I also hope the pacing improves.

I don't understand why people like this series so much. Cinematography and music are great but that's all. Characters are both exaggerated and consistent, which is a mistake which is really hard to do. Ex: Khalesi is depicted as a purely good person although she cannot be as no one can. However, she also shows megalomaniac behavior at the same time. Normally if you design "pure good" characters you put vulnerabilities to them not pure evil characteristics... Anyway, dun to watch...

Game of Thrones presents a highly intricate fantasy realm, immersed in a blend of sex and blood, delving into the morally ambiguous positions of its characters. However, despite building significant character investment through shocking plot twists, the series ultimately falls short in delivering the expected payoff. The once promising exploration of poignant tragedy succumbs to terrible and lazy writing, leaving viewers disheartened. George RR Martin's dark world deprives viewers of virtue, off

As someone who has read the books which are extremely flawed and full of the author's sexual neurosis this series is an amazing adaptation. It takes all the good, adds more good, and leaves out a lot of the bad. The character growth in the actors and the series progression itself is extremely noteworthy. The story itself is epic in nature but at times the dated-and- always-playing-catch-up CGI does mar this. Overall it's one of the best series ever created and I don't see this changing soon.

Season 1 brings a compelling story to the screen worthy to be placed among HBO's - and TV's - best. In just 10 episodes the series adds several moments of major emotional kicks, as well as many hours of pure entertainment. It does not live up to the sophisticated storytelling excellence of shows such as The Wire, but in terms of accessibility, sets and costumes, entertainment value, acting, music and overall production it indeed reaches great heights. The ending was a bit rushed, but expected.

I am one of those assholes who read the books decades before there was a show. What differs for me is that I did not like the books. The tropes are overplayed in fantasy (e.g. a greater unknown threat while factions squabble) and the execution of people being evil for their own sake strikes me as twee. Coming to the show, I barely got through season 1. This show was stupid long before s8. I don't get the appeal at all. Have you all never read anything good?

(S1) More than great production design, wonderful sets and overall good acting almost redeem this show. However, the story doesn't fall flat on its face as much as it never gets started in the first place. 10 hours at subglacial speeds - TV static has higher pacing than this. In these 10 hours, they do find the time for ridiculous scenes full of nudity that appear to be written by a horny 14 year old boy. Moreover, none of the characters are even remotely likeable. Who wins? Who dies? Who cares?

Not quite one of my favorites of all time, because there is just something unfortunately less moving and engaging about a world where main characters die all the time and every character is flawed and meandering (even if it's more realistic--but that's a weird virtue in a story about dragons). But man in terms of quality--especially the visuals and the acting--it's incredible to watch a show that literally gets better every season.
