Storytelling and writing might have declined to disastrous levels, but all other aspects of this show have been impeccable from beginning to end, huge in both quality and quantity, and we'll wait years to see a production work at the level of Game of Thrones. It doesn't deserve less than a 7. Expand

I would give 8-9 if not the last season, the last season was completely disappointing.
I have not watched a TV show with such a bad ending so far.

How to waste a great story. Since season 5 the showrunners showed that they don't care about the show, the story the characters. The worst ending of all time.

Simply the greatest show of all time. Great plot, characters, effects, script, ect...
My advice is to watch the first 4 seasons and see how invested you are. The others aren’t as good but by then you should be so invested you won’t care

David Benioff and Dan Weiss took the unadaptable giant books by George R. R. Martin and transformed them into this beautifully constructed show, that something of it’s kind was never done before. There are so many layers to this story, soDavid Benioff and Dan Weiss took the unadaptable giant books by George R. R. Martin and transformed them into this beautifully constructed show, that something of it’s kind was never done before. There are so many layers to this story, so many characters and story arcs intertwining with each other that it seems impossible to grasp one man came up with it all.

Above all, the thing the show benefited perhaps the most of is the fact that ever since the day they started writing the first script- the complete story from start to finish was compiled in George’s head. Not all the details and specifics of course, but the outline and major plot points were invented years ago when he started working on this huge book series, therefore the production knew exactly where to start, where the story is heading and where it ends, which gave consistency to the story from episode 1 to 73, without getting lost in the way with loose threads.

The show gets plenty of criticism for its deviations from the source material season 5 and onwards, but if you just think for a second how enormous this story is it’s pretty easy to realize a lot needed to be altered to fit the TV medium, and David and Dan managed to do so while preserving the original essence of Martin’s creation, keep the story well constructed and coherent and keep dozens of millions of viewers satisfied, and not only a handful of hard core followers that wanted it to be a page- to-page adaption of the novels. While I enjoyed all the books and didn’t agree with a few of the changes they made for the show as well I can see why a lot had to be cut, things don’t work the same in books as in television. Considering they knew the ending from the start and the huge amount of details you have to alter just from omitting one storyline if you want to reach the same final goal as the books, I believe it was overall for the best and they knew what they were doing, the story didn’t collapse under their hands- at least as far as I’m concerned.

HBO really brought their A-Team of directors to handle this show, as you’ll find not a few episodes here that would rival works of highly acclaimed cinematic directors with 10 times the budget, whether it’s a giant action episode or a well-made drama piece. The production values of the show, like many other things- again, unrivaled by anything else. If it’s the locations, effects, production design, costumes, you name it- it’s not for nothing it’s the most Emmy Awarded show of all times by such a large margin. The fact the show takes place in a fantasy-medieval world gives it an edge in that matter, but the impeccable level of detail the behind-the-curtains crew puts in every frame makes it head and shoulders above everything else on TV, if not also big- budget Hollywood productions. One of the most prominent aspects of this show in my opinion is Ramin Djawadi’s masterful score which must be one of the most brilliantly unique works ever for a series (whether it’s a series of movies or TV series) not only because of the compositions themselves, which are exceptionally beautiful, but also for how the music evolves throughout the seasons and builds the world of the show hand to hand with the writing, the characters and the setting as the story progresses.

The fact that the show is consisting of so many different characters in different locations, with different story arcs that all, eventually, intertwine with each other only adds to the re-watchability value of the show as a whole. You have so many different types of plots, sometimes in different overall genres and such a large variety of types of characters that it’s hard to get bored like you get sometimes if you watch the same linear story over and over again. Say what you will about the final seasons, it’s amazing the show started to really divide the fan base only in its very last season, that being it’s eighth one- something that is ultimately unavoidable with something in that magnitude of popularity, that has so many characters and storylines for people to nit-pick from. We probably must address the elephant in the room, which is the controversy around the final season and as I said it’s expected some will be disappointed with the way elements of the story have concluded but I believe people went way overboard and overreacted with their negativity and scrutiny towards these final episodes, something that originated heavily from being swept by the negative buzz on social media.

I think the success of the show speaks for itself- the countless awards, high acclaim from casual viewers and critics alike, the major fan following, it’s influences on the television landscape and on culture in general- it’s a winner in all fronts. In my personal opinion it’s the greatest television series ever made and while people tend to use this word too cheaply these days, but I wouldn’t say Game of Thrones is anything short of a masterpiece.

Thank you D&D for turning it into utter **** Obviously seasons 5 and 6 were less good, but I forgave because mistakes happen... Season 7 Wight Hunt was ridiculous, and that's were I started to lose hope for a great ending. There is no rewatching value after season 8. Turning a 10/10 into 8 would still have been ok. How did you manage to make it a 0/10? Season 8 starting from episode 3 is simply the worst writting ever. Congrats D&D for ruining it all, I won't watch the prequels. Globally it is a 3, a show that gets worse and without an logical ending, a show you can watch for fun if you skip season 8 which is not even worth watching. Expand

I cannot recommend a series more than Game of Thrones.

The first 1-5 Seasons are some of the best television ever created, there is a valid reason this show was such a cultural phenomenon, even if the last few seasons drop the ball, and the ball fell. And fell. And fell. And fell...

The characters are compelling hooking you in like a serrated fishing hook. They're the biggest reason this show took off as it did. The writing is smart and clever, well-written characterisation and story, weaving together multiple stories and tons of charters seamlessly. The soundtrack is mind-blowing I mean holy **** From intense action scores to quiet more ambient moments the music over-delivers, capturing feelings that other modern fantasy doesn't

The set pecies and effects are beyond convincing. To be fair, there are few outlandish establishing shots. But those there are (Like the wall and King's landing) Are so well done, shot in real locations in Spain and Scotland for its castle settings and Iceland for it's more frozen moments. From the blood that would poor for a finger cut to a titanic wall of ice all is done so well that it never breaks any suspension of disbelif.

Conclusion:
Even if you're not a fantasy fan, I cannot recommend a show more. The hour-long episodes might seem daunting at first but they feel like 6 minutes when you start watching, wanting more and wishing for the show to never end. However, the last few seasons drop the ball. Never from a technical level but from a writing level, no doubt you've probably heard of the criticism from Season 7 & 8 where the season is at it's absolute worst. Season 6 has it's bad moments and stories, but nothing compares to 7 & 8.
They fail to keep up with the realism of the fantasy series (weird thing to hear I know) as plot holes are more frequent here than anything I've ever watched. Characters being flanderised and simplified so that they make stupid, outlandish decisions and the character complexity that was present is now all but gone. The show makes characters back peddle their arc's, they make characters have no purpose anymore, and they have this weird tendency to have the more popular characters be around for no reason at all, just to try to win more awards, all in service of the shadow of what this show was. But I'm sure when you get hooked from the first episode, you'll be excited and enthralled watching Seasons 1-5 but lose that love as the show gets full of itself.

This is impossible to review as a complete series, easy to review as a single season. Nothing makes sense, entire armies, incompetently commanded as they are, just respawn between episodes, characters act completely contrary to the way the show has portrayed them for years, character arcs are ignored, bungled or usurped by other characters and the dialog sounds as if it's been written by an eight year old.

The first four seasons of this show is some of the best TV ever made. The last four are like the original show slowly drowning in plot holes, stupid fan service, breaking established rules of the fictional world, incomprehensible actions by the characters in it and everyone becoming stupid and/or mad in order to try and make the increasingly ridiculous scripts make sense.

I could list examples all day. Characters ruined or misunderstood, plot armor removing all tension, stupid lines, pointless shock value instead of good dialog. And particularly awful is the fact that the story contains several prophecies, which are all completely ignored. All that talk was just meaningless babble that you could have skipped as a viewer. And to be completely honest I don't like mystical prophecies in stories. I think they are a cheesy way of doing foreshadowing. Nevertheless they are foreshadowing, and ignoring them reverberates back on the entire narrative, making most of it completely pointless. There is emotion, unless you notice all the plot holes, in which case there is nothing, except perhaps the most pointless story ever told. And the writers of GoT are either too stupid to understand this or they didn't care that they wasted their audiences' time in all the episodes where they referenced these prophecies. And it is bad writing.

But it is so bad here that it almost requires a book-length treatment. But we don't need that. Hundreds of books about writing have already been written. Weiss and Benioff just haven't read any of them. Nothing that happened in the first seven seasons matters at all, because literally the only thought in the writers' heads is to "subvert" expectations, a euphemism for disjointed, crude and unprofessional writing. Whatever the audience expects, perhaps because it makes sense based on seven seasons of development, must not happen under any circumstances. Rather the absolute least likely thing, probably because it's stupid, has to happen instead. Subverted! Nanny nanny boo boo, you've been subverted by our genius, nihilist writing!

It's just too pathetic for words, and it is so bad that I can not recommend to anyone that they watch this TV show. Yes, the first four seasons are mostly brilliant, and all eight seasons look great, sound great are wonderfully cast and for the most part acted. But miraculously none of that matters now. You will be wasting your time if you watch this show, and you can look forward to absolutely no payoff on anything that you see and hear.

Years to construct the character of Daenerys who wants to free the poor and the defenseless and then make her become a crazy dictator without a real reason.
Tyrion should be the smartest of the kingdom and in the last season he doesn't embrace a right choice.
I can understand that John decides to kill Daenerys but not like that.
Really a pity, a conclusion unworthy of an otherwise excellent TV series.

Game of Thrones has truly set the bar for what a tv show should be. I found season 8 overall to still be highly enjoyable, though I wish they would have taken more time to tie up all the storylines. Many of the problems that the last season had I feel could have been fixed if there had just been a few more episodes to sort everything out. Despite this, I still think Game of Thrones is truly one of the greatest shows to ever grace our screens. I don't think there will be another like it for quite some time. I am always fully immersed in the world of Westeros and I will certainly miss the beauty of the cinematography. The music is always absolutely stellar as well, Ramin Djiwadi is truly a genius. Though the writing may have suffered, the acting certainly didn't. Still a 10/10 for me, despite this most recent seasons flaws. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game of Thrones has been a great show since it's inception with seasons 1-4 being some of the best television in history. Season 8 has taken all the previous seasons work and thrown it out the window with no character's ending meaning anything, and all the previous points of emphasis not even mattering in the end. Jon Snow being Aegon did not matter in the end with seasons of build up towards this reveal, then Bran showing us all Jon Snow was Aegon. Alas in the end it did not matter with Varys writing letters to who knows about Jon's true identity that didn't matter, and absolutely no follow by any of the characters about Jon being Aegon. One last thing is that when Tyrion chooses Bran to be king he mentions that Bran is the three eyed raven and this is a reason for him to be king. How did Tyrion know he was the three eyed raven, and even if he did how do any of the other lords of Westeros know or care what the three eyed raven is. Bran himself hardly understands what it means to be the three eyed raven, with Sansa and Arya being the only characters to me to seem to grasp that the three eyed raven means Bran can see into the past.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 6 was a mixed bag of positives and negatives. I MUCH enjoyed the epoch White Walker battle but it should have been the final episode. It is the fight for the survival of humanity after all. I'm also glad the Starks are now in control of most of the known world. However, Cersei and Jamie needed a better ending. Daeny needed a different ending. And I'm perplexed about Jon's ending. The pacing of the final six episodes was also rushed which lead to issues. However, if I were the Three Eyed Raven i would say it ended as it should. And for those who are extremely unhappy with this ending, there are still the books-- should we live long enough for GRRM to finish them. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Those who criticise the last episode are surely missing the point. GOT has been a massive sage involving 7 waring kingdoms and countless characters. To bring all this to an end which would have satisfied all viewers would have been as easy as resolving Brexit in an hour and a bit. It could never satisfy everyone and a compromise had to be found. Electing the saintlike Bran as king of 6 kingdoms was as near as possible the perfect ending. Well done GOT - you will be missed! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a disappointment! The first couple of seasons belong no doubt to television’s proudest achievements. I really loved GOT. But what the writers did with the storylines and the characters in the final two seasons is nothing but disappointing and a real shame. And in the end, they simply had no clue how to do justice to all the buildup from the previous seasons. One battle against the biggest threat from the north? Seriously, that was it? And Cersei dies in a cave without being confronted by her enemies directly? All the experiences that Jamie had to endure seem to be just a waste of time, he dies with his sister. And Dany turning into Hitler and going mad and aiming to become ruler of the world? I could go on and on, but this collection of plot-holes just spoils everything that used to make GOT one of the best series ever. Expand

I really enjoyed all of Game of Thrones (yes including season 8) the cinematography had gotten better with each season and was a joy to watch, the writing could have been better throughout season 7 and 8 but I think.that was due to me having my own expectations and predictions which coloured my own opinion. After letting go how I wanted it to end it was a much more enjoyable experience. All I ask is form your own opinions of the show and not just listen to the loudest people on the internet. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible show, setting standards across the board for storytelling, production value, acting chops, set-pieces, etc. GoT is at it's best when it doesn't follow the traditional narrative approach: i.e., avoids good vs evil, standard monomyth format. However, subverting expectations for subversion's sake catches up to the series eventually. Combine this with a smaller episode order (for who knows why?) in seasons 7 and 8, and the quality become substantially-reduced towards the finish line, where characters behave in a manner for plot's sake, not because of who they are. Additionally, the threat of the white walker's is never fully-realized, and is better off serving as a suspense-generator in earlier seasons.

Overall, watch seasons 1-6, and then temper your expectations towards the end. Seasons 7 and 8, although disappointing, do not irrevocably damage the legacy of the series. GoT, as it stands, is still arguably the greatest show ever made.

GOT, a once intriguing and clever show has been reduced to an eye rolling shambles, complete with vacuous one-liners. Complex adult characters have been purposefully dumbed down, while one-dimensional teenage Arya has been promoted, probably because dumb and dumber figured she didn't require any intelligent nuanced dialogue, of which they have no hope of writing. Where once there was a brilliant plot structure, there is now a sense of nothing making sense, which has nothing to do with subverting expectations and everything thing to do with dumb and dumber being totally out of their depth.

They also apparently forgot what the map looks like as they just change the locations of places on a whim. As a Star Wars fan as well I can tell the direction Disney is going to take its franchise based on how horribly the quality degraded in this series when they needed to start creating original content and didn’t have the books to go off of. This last season is absolutely abysmal, seriously. Anyone that thinks this new season is good really isn’t paying attention at all and is probably watching it in a bar with their friends shouting anytime someone pulls out a sword. Expand

While there are certainly some missteps, they are very few and far between. A story this sweeping and dramatic is bound to have some faults, especially when being adapted from even more sweeping and dramatic books.

HBO has really taken the TV series to another level with this one, as they have been known to do.
