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.

I think to myself how can it can any better, and it keeps delivering. One of the best shows ever.

It got worse with every season. The writers are clearly stalling with filler episodes and boring plotlines. I gave up because I couldn't take the slow, pointless story anymore.

[BOT] One of my all-time favorites.

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.
