More Critic Reviews for Game of Thrones Season 4 All Critics (44) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (1) The show proceeds at its own stately pace, telling its own knotty story. Rather than be concerned that future seasons might mar the world that Martin, Benioff, and Weiss have painstakingly created. Apr 2, 2014 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic To my taste, the characters and their relationships are the primary draw for Game of Thrones, along with the political wrangling for the Iron Throne. Apr 7, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic Each of the actors rises to that challenge, whether playing opposite one person or a multitude of extras. Apr 7, 2014 | Full Review… Sarah Rodman Boston Globe Top Critic HBO very well could hit the 10-season mark with what's become its franchise series. There's no reason to kill this golden calf -- particularly with so many characters still available to be sacrificed instead. Apr 5, 2014 | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic One of the best shows of the last several years feels as creatively vital as ever. Apr 4, 2014 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Still TV's best -- dive in while the water's warm. Winter is coming, after all. Apr 1, 2014 | Rating: A+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic It feels like forever since the last episode of Game of Thrones, but the premiere, "Two Swords," was well worth the wait. A stellar start to the fourth season. Apr 7, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Jesse Carp CinemaBlend At its best, the show is completely unpredictable and meticulously detailed in its orchestration of pain and agony. So far as we can tell, season four stands to be its finest frame yet. Apr 3, 2014 | Full Review… Neil Miller Film School Rejects Every character beat feels like it's been crafted to its finest point, while each scene carries with it the possibility of drastic change - but that is only because the series has done such a fantastic job conditioning the audience to expect such things. Apr 8, 2014 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant Rejoice! Game of Thrones is back in all its epic, sprawling, bloody glory. And Sunday's briskly paced Season 4 opener, "Two Swords," did not disappoint. Apr 7, 2014 | Full Review… Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times It's been three seasons since the series premiere, but Game of Thrones still knows how to open with power. Apr 7, 2014 | Full Review… Samantha Sobolewski The Loop Like the mechanic gears of the credit titles, everything seems to fit into the series. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 29, 2018 | Full Review… Álvaro P. Ruiz de Elvira El Pais (Spain) View All Critic Reviews (44) Audience Reviews for Game of Thrones: Season 4 Oct 13, 2019 The writing began to go downhill during season 4. Andrew S Oct 11, 2019 GoT continues to ride high as chaos continues to have its way with the Seven Kingdoms. Meticulous storytelling, great acting, fantastic soundtrack. John C Oct 03, 2019 THE BEST SEASON. Season 4 was amazing. Every episode kept you hooked and it was perfectly done. Sam E Sep 23, 2019 Just keeps getting better and more nail biting as we watch the characters grow and the threat grows larger. Bailey K Sep 22, 2019 montaña es tan brutal la muerte son increíbles sobre todo la muerte que hace montaña Pedrito P Sep 09, 2019 Whereas this season starts off very strong, it starts to drag (in my opinion) towards later in the season and starts to show a little bit of the problems which would plague later seasons. Definitely a better fantasy adaptation than a lot of films/tv series I have seen, but no where near the comfort of season 1 or the shock of season 3. Nate S Sep 07, 2019 Very happy with the entire season, except how they left out a huge plot point in the final episode, one that was building up since season 1. Oh well, it was still amazing. Gwenhwyfar S Sep 06, 2019 This show has its several flaws, but all four of these stars are earned just for the Battle of Castle Black, which is on par with Helm's Deep in my book. Aaron G Sep 06, 2019 Outstanding season! This was Thrones at it's best. Keith C Sep 05, 2019 A lot of people consider Season 3 as the climax of this show, but I have to pick Season 4 as the best. The Battle at the Wall, Tyrion's Confession, and countless other plot points just made this so great for me. This was the best point in Jon's arc for me, and I loved every moment of it. Was certainly the most memorable Season for me. I'm giving it a 5 stars, even though I know there are some flaws such as Tyrion's final act, and Jaime not revealing to Tyrion who Tysha really was.
