George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It's the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne. Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain.

"Game of Thrones" is a slog through fluctuating politics and random instances of gore with only brief moments of true excitement, when you can distinguish good from evil.

Overall, it's been a dramatic, but uneven season, and who knows where they can go from here, having upped all the antes that could have possibly been upped.

Crafted with so much good intent towards its audience. Whether you're one of the fans who obsesses over tiny production details, among the crowd of newbs or someone who wants a well presented way to relive some truly amazing fantasy genre storytelling...

If anything, this entire season really belongs to Tyrion.

Like the mechanic gears of the credit titles, everything seems to fit into the series. [Full Review in Spanish]

The best season up to this point, which says a lot. More cunning, better special effects, less wasted time, and perhaps a bit colder. This is Thrones through and through.

This season easily deserves 5 stars for what happens in episode 2 alone 😂

A massive step up from an already incredible series. Both more cinematic and narratively rich. More and better action set pieces but the dialogue still remains the greatest strength. Tyrion's trial is the most riveting storyline so far and the final two episodes are phenomenal. 10/10

Ive taken better dumps then this show. Who celebrates incest like this fan base? They love getting it on with family.

9.8/10. What an experience! This here, was breathtaking & magnificent, and a true sensation of television. I can comfortably say it is one of my favourite seasons of all time, and most likely top 3. The consistency was off the charts. Every single episode was either EXTREMELY well made and entertaining or just a straight masterpiece. I usually watch like three shows at the same time but when I started this season, I immediately binged it over like three days and I didn't watch ANYTHING else. Everything was perfect. The cinematography, the music, the acting, the dialogue, the writing. And the characters! (Tyrion my goat.)
