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. Go to Full Review

5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Stephen Marche Esquire Magazine 10/19/2018
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. Go to Full Review
Demetrios Matheou The Arts Desk 07/23/2018
[Game of Thrones] is dark, ribald, dramatic and sometimes awe-inspiring; it may not be Tolkien, and that may be a blessing. Go to Full Review

Rowan C @RowanC3 1d Game of Thrones Season 3 is the best season so far, and everything about it was straight peak. I like how there are a lot of different storylines going on, and all of them are entertaining. We got Daenerys storyline, which ended in her raising a massive army with her 3 medium-sized dragons. Jon Snow's story carried him out of the crows, into the wildlings, and back into the crows when he was injured by his girlfriend, Igrit (Rose Leslie). Bran became a wark and his goal is to get north of the wall, which did not happen this season. King's Landing has its own story with Jaime returning at the end, and Joffrey still being a terrible king. Robb's story had such a tragic end with the Red Wedding, where his wife, Talisa (Oona Chaplin), his mother Catelyn (Michelle Fairley), and he were all murdered by Walder Frey (David Bradley) for betraying his marriage deal. There was not a single dull moment in this season, and I enjoyed every second. Overall, I think this show will never slow down. See more Frans B @FransB Oct 26 Still delivering top tier suspense, drama, intrigue and lots of twists. Very captivating and still breathtaking. Cast seem to grow with every season, in character and depth and also in significance. Impossible to stop watching, almost intoxicating. See more Venimomoni Sep 4 The worst season in history. I refuse to watch this filth again. Why was it made. I hate the directors too. I only like Arya as a character. This...... show sucks. See more Eva B Jul 12 Beyond the great plot and talented cast, the cinematography is absolutely stunning. See more Raniel Ivan C Jul 1 Season 3 = S+ Tier 10/10 Season 3 = S+ Tier 10/10 Season 3 = S+ Tier 10/10 See more Jadan C Jun 26 This is by far the best show I’ve EVER seen in my life. That says something because in very critical when it comes to shows/movies as I’m very critical. I’m usually able to guess what’s about to happen in most movies/shows and I could never guess what’s was happening next. There could’ve been more action but since it’s such a good plot every episode that makes up for it. Amazing cast, amazing storyline, just all around amazing. I genuinely hated Cersei and Joffrey and genuinely wanted to hurt them in real life while watching, which goes to show you how good the acting is. I recommend this show to anyone that needs a good/great shown and entertainment. See more Read all reviews
