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.

By Episode 3, though, the action is as riveting as ever. And a superb addition to the new season is Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna.

Game of Thrones offers a stern rebuke to genre elitism: it is not only a grand adventure, but a series that pushes the medium of television drama into new fields.

Combines a sophisticated and beautifully shot narrative maintaining a vastly conceived, intricate pattern of diverging and converging plot streams but it is also very, very simple... It may be the purest escapism ever devised.

[Game of Thrones] is dark, ribald, dramatic and sometimes awe-inspiring; it may not be Tolkien, and that may be a blessing.

Everyone good dies. Terrible experience. If I could rate it 0 I would. It’s not creative to kill off all the main characters. Why did I invest so much time in this.

A very powerful season — the plot twists are what truly define this series, and episode 9 left me in complete shock.

Definitely going down as one of the greatest detailed oriented rich stories of all time with master class actors.

@CWSutherland Mar 22

The introduction of the most ruthless and impossible-to-turn-away-from character in television history in RB, combined with the same awesome elements of the first 2 seasons, made this season another home run.

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