The characters bring us into the action and, once there, we want to follow every development. Read full review

Once you get back in the rhythm of this enthrallingly sprawling, lusty and brutal saga, flaunting enough sex and violence to make a Hobbit faint, it's impossible not to succumb to Thrones' visceral, dark magic. Read full review

Is Game of Thrones one of the great HBO series? It's too early to tell, though judged purely as an immense yet improbably graceful narrative machine, I'd have to say yes. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Mar 26, 2012

It's another level of pop culture wizardry to make such storytelling seem so vivid, so vital, and just plain fun. Read full review

Brian Lowry

HBO has the ingredients for a series that puts nearly every other genre offering to shame. Read full review

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Mar 29, 2012

It's all a lot to swallow, let alone digest. But Game of Thrones nonetheless is an undertaking worth applauding for its audacity if not always for its overall senses of direction or cohesion. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

Mar 29, 2012

The new season of this dense medieval fantasy set in a land called Westeros serves up a whole bunch of wartime posturing, a seemingly endless number of would-be rulers and the usual sex and (sometimes in the same scene) violence. But it sure doesn't give viewers much to latch onto. Read full review

Game of Thrones is the best series in TV. The story is just astounding and addicting. If you see the first episode then you become a fan right away. Each and every single one of characters have a rich personality and amazing acting abilities.

Most amazing show have seen, absolutely enthralling and can't wait to see what happens next. Was sorry to see Sean Bean go out of it so quickly as loved his character but am eager to see what happens to the kids from here.

I heard this show was amazing. so i decided to watch season 1 in February. I was so stoked for season 2 and now its the greatest show ever. Great shows arent around now as they were around 2003-2007. Game of thrones is probably top 10 of the best shows in history

As someone who has read the song of ice and fire series, I have to say at first I was a little disappointed with season 2. However, as I started to put aside my preconceived notions about how I thought the show should be adapted. I realized that this was great television at its finest. IAs someone who has read the song of ice and fire series, I have to say at first I was a little disappointed with season 2. However, as I started to put aside my preconceived notions about how I thought the show should be adapted. I realized that this was great television at its finest. I have even grown to love some of the changes they have made with the series. All the actors are great, but the child actors on this show are incredible. I really have grown to love this show and I can't wait to see what is coming in season 3.… Expand

Jamie's imprisonment andIn the aftermath of a shattering exeution the Starks are splintered across westros. The entwining narratives provide space for the show to take intresting directions, deliver fascinating sets and invest their audience into people who aren't so black&white. Jamie's imprisonment and development challenge existing conceptions he solidified straight off the bat and the Starks separation seems far from being resolved. The thre dragons pose a powerful monument to the fragility of the Iron thrones Baratheon rule. Through expanding on it's existing characters and addition of more Game of Thrones removes the meandering faults season one barely held for a refined sophomore outing that seems to be near a deadly power shift.… Expand

What a great disappointment. A lot of things have been changed from the books to accommodate the sentiment of the viewers the publishers are trying to woo. 1/10 for this compromising piece of ****
