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.

Critics Consensus

After a year-long wait, Game of Thrones roars back with powerful storytelling and a focused interest in its central characters -- particularly the female ones.

The season premiere of Game of Thrones was thoroughly satisfying, a transporting hour that brilliantly reestablished the chessboard for the new, penultimate season.

With the women more badass than ever, the men were left to do the touchy-feely stuff.

4/5

Benioff and Weiss's attempt to glue everything back together and -- if not start the game again -- return the pieces to positions that might make for a more interesting and considered endgame... worked.

The time for politics is over. The great war is here and if there was an attitude to embrace for season seven, then it was a suspended disbelief.

While I found "Dragonstone" to be completely engaging, I was expecting a bit more action. It's evident the writers decided to go with the slow build. I take that to mean the remaining six episodes of this season should be quite the feast.

Not as bad as I remembered from my first watch, but a noticeable step down.

People seem to not like this season as much but I still do. So good.

They ruined a beloved series by warping White Walkers into a cross between 1970s Disney monsters and the Walking Dead, as well as cheap plot twists apparently written by 8th graders. So much potential. Such great characters. Drawn from such a rich book series. All thrown away.

A very intense season — things move fast and everything starts to come together for the final war. The stakes feel higher than ever, and the tension keeps building in every episode. There are some shocking and brutal moments that remind you what this series is all about, and I have to admit… some of them were incredibly satisfying 😂 Overall, a strong season that really sets up the end.

A shorter but more cinematic season that finally brings everything together, featuring the best finale episode of the series. Perfectly setting up all the final pieces and character arcs. It is mostly build up but I don't really have any issues with this season. 9.5/10

Game of Thrones Season 7 was short and sweet, and I loved it. Everyone is preparing for war since Daenerys wants to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and Cersei is doing everything in her power to protect her place on the throne. Jon and Daenerys met for the first time, and they teamed up to fight a common enemy. This common enemy is the Ice King, and he took down the big wall, with Danereys's dead dragon. Cersei lied about wanting a truce, even though she saw proof of the dead men. She drove Jamie away by betraying these people, and she is ruthless. We also learned from Sam and Bran that Jon Snow's real name is Aegon Targaryen because Rhaegar married his aunt. This means that he is the rightful heir of the Iron Throne, and not Daenerys. The situation is obviously weird because Jon and Daenerys just hooked up. In Winterfell, Arya returned, and Sansa ordered Petyr Baelish's execution. Overall, I fear that this will be the last good season because I heard the end of Season 8 is terrible.
