More Critic Reviews for Game of Thrones Season 2 All Critics (37) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (36) | Rotten (1) Game of Thrones is absurd in its ambition and scope. Sep 16, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is the series' MVP, but there's not a single character without meat on their bones. Unless you count the White Walkers. Nov 1, 2017 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… William Thomas Empire Magazine Top Critic Game of Thrones nonetheless is an undertaking worth applauding for its audacity if not always for its overall senses of direction or cohesion. Apr 1, 2012 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic TV's best (but do your homework before diving in). Apr 1, 2012 | Rating: A+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic That Thrones remains so utterly unpredictable makes it even more mesmerizing. Apr 1, 2012 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Chuck Barney San Jose Mercury News Top Critic Once you sort out all the teams and players, Game of Thrones falls together like a good Western. Apr 1, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Game of Thrones gets off to a fantastic start with its second season premiere. Apr 11, 2019 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant Season 2 of Game of Thrones gets more expansive, even literally - it covers more ground, roams new corners of the kingdom, even introduces new characters. May 14, 2018 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR's Fresh Air Because of the limits set within the books, the screenwriters have to choose how to make the most out of every line written. For just 10 hours this season, I don't envy them, and yet it's fascinating watching it unfold. Feb 7, 2014 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic The season 2 finale did justice to nearly every character and subplot, and it tied them all together under a unified thematic umbrella that gave significant weight and meaning to every part of this vast, wide-ranging fantasy epic. Sep 26, 2013 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Jonathan Lack We Got This Covered The second season has more fantasy elements than the first, but otherwise it's largely more of the same. Apr 8, 2014 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Stephen Carty Flix Capacitor [Game of Thrones] is a great political epic, in which the nature of power and government is questioned, over and over again, and it's left to the audience to come up with its own disquieting answers. May 22, 2018 | Full Review… Charlie Jane Anders io9.com View All Critic Reviews (37) Audience Reviews for Game of Thrones: Season 2 Oct 11, 2019 Season 2 continues to add depth and richness to the characters and world established in season 1, while the various plot-lines are compelling. There is little to complain about, from the acting to the cinematography, to Ramin Djawadi's brilliant soundtrack. John C Oct 03, 2019 Good. Awesome battle scenes, somewhat slow plot but it gets there. Sam E Sep 23, 2019 Building on everything that made the first season so good and with the endingof the first season, season two is a gateway for multiple fantastic character storylines. As always the plot and the story are getting stronger and the fantasy world is starting to develop into something interesting. Bailey K Sep 22, 2019 una serie enorme que no deberes encariñarte con ningún personajes Pedrito P Sep 19, 2019 Really great actors, writing and well done special effects. Anita20 L Sep 09, 2019 Season 2 of Game of Thrones does a great job expanding on the world that was introduced in season 1. So much of this season adds to the worldbuilding, especially learning the variations of religion though-out Westeros. (Sadly, what happens in season 8 makes this season not as good once you know how pointless a lot of it is.) Nate S Sep 07, 2019 Even though I didn't care for this book in the series as much, it's one of the best seasons. Gwenhwyfar S Sep 06, 2019 The cracks are starting to show, but wow the Battle of Blackwater Bay delivers in so many ways. Aaron G Sep 06, 2019 This show took everything that made the first season great and made it even better in this season. Keith C Sep 05, 2019 Just another continuation of all of the best character Arcs, and some amazing action. A few of the many great moments in this season would be the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion's journey, and Tywin's conversation with Arya.
