    The fourth season of the fantasy hit drama is a masterpiece and without a doubt, it is right up there where Breaking Bad is when it comes to the terrific writing and directing of that season and it’s the only season that considers to be the very best of all other seasons of Game of Thrones.

    4 sezon jest niczym innym jak idealną kontynuacją jego poprzedników. Choć nie zachwycił mnie tak jak 3, oglądało mi się go świetnie. Żałuje jedynie, że zaczęto pomijać bardzo ważne i ciekawe wątki z książki. Wykonanie jak zawsze bezbłędne - klimat jak w książce.

    An absolute marvel. The show finds new ways to surprise, while always maintaining a feel of realness, instead of feeling like the show cheats. It also builds the characters well and keeps a sense of curiosity on you.

    Hands down its the best season of the best show in the entire world and the entire history of television. Every season has a big moment either a big death will occur or a big battle. But this season it dealt with 4 major character deaths and one big major battle. And this show will only be gettin better and better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 4 is easily the best season of the series and one of the best seasons in TV History. There are some amazing episodes: "The Lion and the Rose" (I have to praise Lena Headey's acting in the really cool Joffrey's death), "The Laws of Gods and Men" (Peter Dinklage is amazing, deserving of an Emmy in his epic speech), "The Mountain and the Viper" (Oberyn's death is incredibly impressive), "The Watchers on the Wall" (stunning battle scenes) and one of the best episodes of that year, "The Children".

    I have to highlight the performances by Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gwendoline Christie, Pedro Pascal and Natalie Dormer.    … Expand

    Peter Dinklage gave a show one more time, his character was in some cliffhanger situations, wich there was a moment of happiness and hope and just after sadness, he was switching emotions in so little time, that was great, and he also had one speech in this season that i really though it was amazing, he put his emotions on that speech that make it being great, you could feel his hate there. Lena Headey dispense comments, one more time she is amazing, with a very similar job that she had in the last season. Kit Harington had some nice moments in this season, some moments that he was leading that were really awesome, he could give to the moment some strength. Emilia Clarke here didn't had much going on this season, she could delivery sad moments and pass some ideas of what her character was thinking, but i didn't though it was that good, it was at least ok. Sophie Turner character had an apparently flip in this season, she did a good job. Maisie Williams did one more time doing a great job, i bought her situation with Clogane, and how without a choice she was, in the action moments i also though that she did a very good job. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau now trying to be more of a good guy, i believe that he was very successful, a bad guy turning into a good one normally seems forced, but here, with the script together with the actor i liked it. Aidan Gillen was one more time very mysterious, but now we had a little better idea of what his plans are, he can sell that sickness of his character. Jack Gleeson did such of a good job in the whole series that he was so easy for us to hate him, that was definely a perfect job of the character. Charles Dance as well, did a terryfic job. Rory McCann during the whole show was fearless and we got that from his phisicality. Gwendoline Christie was pretty good as well, she had some sarcastic and debauchery faces, she was pretty cool. Iwan Rheon is building of the most scary characters of the show, he is completely unpredictable, he is trully evil and he can make us believe in that, it is so natural that i also got scared of the actor. Pedro Pascal did a very good job, he was was debauchery, he had blood in his eyes for revenge, hate, i think that he sold his character very well.
    The story generally is very good, but i think that are some flaws, are some story lines that i really didn't liked and was just for have more minutes, but it was completely unnecessary, like some Sam moments was just wasted and not necessary at all, it felt completely wrong somethings there. There are som Daenerys parts that i didn't saw things moving on neither, it is nice to see her rulling some place already, showing layers of what she is doing, but in other hand that felt so repetitive that i didn't enjoyed that very much.
    The big thing about this universe, it is because for some point of view, it is really real, real in the sense that anything can happen anytime, so person died out of nowhere, that can happen in real life, and that can change other people life, so that unpredictability make the show be so great, like there are things that you see and may seems to be the same standard journey that are in other stories, but here it isn't, that's perfect.
    The choreography of fights here isn't the best yet, some are good and others aren't, some are bad. I think that are some really bad fighting sequences here, that the editing really didn't do a good job done, so many cuts that it felt like a transformers movie, that wasn't good, but some were really nice, the whole battle of watchers, i though that was amazing, i could really get chills in some moments, the sequence was pretty well done.
    This season was one more time pretty damn good, the develop of the story is still making me get stuck to it, the action moments aren't the best, but the main thing is that the great quality of the narrative and the events can't make my attention get lost in this rich universe.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game of Thrones just keeps getting better and better and this season was even better than the first three seasons and it is still my 2nd favorite show of all time. Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Rory McCann, Gwendoline Christie, Aidan Gillen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Alfie Allen, Iwan Rheon, and John Bradley gave outstanding leading performances and the supporting performances from Daniel Portman, Hannah Murray, Pedro Pascal, Diana Rigg, Charles Dance, Conleth Hill, Jerome Flynn, Rose Leslie, Michiel Huisman, Kerry Ingram, Jack Gleeson, and Natalie Dormer were terrific. The fighting and battle scenes were excellent and really awesome especially the battle between the Night's Watch and the Wildlings, the fight between Brienne and The Hound, and the fight between Oberyn and Gregor. The writing and storytelling continues to be great. The visual effects were spectacular especially the skeleton Wights, the dragons (specifically Drogon), and Drogon's fire. The makeup effects were very impressive especially the Night King, the White Walker, and the Giants. The costumes were fantastic especially all of Emilia Clarke's outfits, Gwendoline Christie's outfits, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's outfits, Lena Headey's outfits, and Sophie Turner's outfits. The score and all of the music in this season was great. Also the final scene was great it was so cool to Arya finally safe and getting somewhere new. Season 4 of Game of Thrones is another A+ season.… Expand

    Season 4 continued on par with the great storytelling and scenes that were present in the previous seasons. The old and new characters all were interesting and they have a lot of depth. The battle at the wall was well done and it had heartfelt moments throughout. The trial by combat was both the most frustrating and gut wrenching thing. Overall It was an amazing season.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the absolute best season of Thrones. While Season 3 had individually harder hitting moments, season 4 is riveting throughout, starting off at breakneck pace and never slowing down. While the war of the five kings ended in season 3, season 4 focuses on picking up the scraps of war and showing its effects on the characters that still inhabit this world, and it does so wonderfully. Great acting, amazing dialogue, and fantastic culminations, continuations and beginnings to a myriad of charcter arcs permeate the entire season, giving it a sense of rivety otherwise unseen in the show. Stellar moments that would define the show and its fan community took place here, with more memorable scenes of monumental acting, fight scenes and character development than one can sucessfully keep count on. An absolute joy all throughout, and easily earning a 10/10 as the best Thrones season of all time.… Expand

    The fourth season of Game of Thrones is another very successful season of the show, which puts an end to a villain as hated as it is iconic (the applause here goes to the actor!), concludes the dispute between the Night's Watch and the Wildlings and makes , in fact, Tyrion Lannister as the real mascot, in a succession of events that leave sensationally speechless.

    This narrative pokiness is redeemed, as usual, by the machine-tooled professionalism of the production, the lavish attention to the mock-medieval costumes and setting, and the mostly crisp, understated acting by the international cast.... More than ever, though, you may find yourself impatient for the plot to wind around to the more engaging story lines.

    The storytelling seems to have hit a new peak of relaxed confidence. In every scene you get a sense of steady forward motion. New characters are introduced and old characters deepened, and devious new plots are laid out so deftly that it's not until midway through episode three that you look back over everything that came before and laugh at yourself for not having seen a particular surprise coming
