That was great except the last episode :(
At first I didn't get what the fuss was about. Then, I watched the first episode. I was sold! Sure, It may not always be perfect, but it's a really tremendous show.
The dead of Ned Stark was probably the most surprising one from all the series I watched, I saw GoT on a COMPLETLY LEGAL streaming plataform and started watching... somehow I had never heard of it before. I kinda knew the series was gonna be good from the first few episodes but I still I was 110% sure than some Deus Ex Machina type shit would happen and save need, needless to say that Joffrey destroyed all of my hope.
Still this series could have easily been a masterpiece, but it started getting worst on season 5, than I thought everything was fine because on season 6 it got good again... but then season 7 and 8 came in complety killing almost everything that was built until that point.
It could've been a masterpiece, but it isn't.
7/10
With already way over 300 comments I am not sure one more will matter but I make the effort anyway.
I've waited 5 years, until the show finished, to watch it in one piece. I actually managed not to know anything about the plot. But, all the time wondering: will it be worth it? From where I stand the answer is a confident "NO". Every season I was looking to convince me to continue until I finally couldn't any longer in season 4.
The production, without doubt, is probably one of the best ever done for TV. That I will like to admit. The cast is splendid. But the story could not get me excited in any way. Half of the time it was interesting while the other half is more like a highly praised soap opera (yeah, call me names but I stand behind that).
Reading how the show ended and what even the ones who love this show think about it, I guess I made the right decision. I don't know of another show that has such a drop in the avarage ratings for it's final season.
Well, there are many other things to watch now.
One of the best shows I've seen. The last season however was admittedly bad. I wish they just extended the show. :cry:
One of the best shows I've seen, the last season was horrible though. :(
season 1: good adaptation of a good book. great casting. 8/10
season 2: massive drop in quality. many character arcs butchered. at least the broader strokes are fairly accurately adapted. 6/10
season 3: bad adaptational choices continue but generally the character arcs are better. 7/10
season 4: the material being adapted is the best so far but the adaptational choices are the worst as well. 6/10
season 5: why. why would they adapt two of the most complex books in the series in 1 season. everything is rushed and terrible. jon's story is the best of these but it's still vastly inferior to the book. some truly baffling adaptational choices here. 3/10
season 6: on the surface this is a step-up in quality... but this season feels incredibly artificial. there is so much fanservice crammed in here that it's borderline offensive. this show doesn't resemble george's story anymore. this is an incredibly overrated season. relies on "wow!! cool moment" to mask how fucking vacuous it is. 4/10
season 7: lmao what the fuck is this. this is awful. this is bad fan fiction. absolutely shameful. 1/10
season 8: one good episode. at least we got the broad strokes of the ending if george never finishes asoiaf. funny how people only started noticing the show's problems in the final season. seriously? it's been bad for 4 seasons and season 7 was worse. something tells me that people are just angry they didn't get the fanservice ending they wanted. not that im gonna defend this season, its terrible, but its better than season 7 at least. 2/10
Fantastic. Beautifull .incredible.wanderfull.bigest
Weak 8. For those who knew the saga until the show had a support in it, it was not that bad. When the source ran out, the quality of it dropped significantly.
If you have not read the work of George R.R. Martin's the series may be pleasing (it has momentum), otherwise it is difficult to watch it without looking on it through the book.
It is not by oversight that I have not written a review of this series, before today. I was a late adopter, having been initially repulsed by the lasiviousness, lewd, violent coarseness of the show (I think I watched one random episode and recoiled). Then, when the popularity of the show skyrocked, my curiousity lead me to start at the beginning and give the show a chance. I binged what I'd missed, then watched it episodically as it was broadcast, then, just before the beginning of each new season, I would binge the previous season, just to be caught up and ready to go. All those things that originally repelled me where still all there in abundance but the story telling, the characters, the acting, the quality of the production, and the human drama, on an epic scale, held my fascination and it became a guilty pleasure (so, watching, but not reviewing). Then, the production overshot the source material and the direction became less crisp and the characters struggled to find their footing. Finally, the end was near, and production values soared to Movie-of-the-Week standards. The last season ended and the audience was stunned. Some with disappointment (wounded by the trajectory of the plot and their beloved characters). Some with grief (no more GAME OF THRONES!?!). Some with sense overload (What did I just see?!?). I was in that category. It took days to reconcile what I had just watched. My only clear thought was, "Well...they had to end it some way." I was sure they could not have ended it in a way that would have satisfied everyone. Is there ever a good time or way to watch a beloved thing die? So, now, 53 days after the last episode was broadcast, I have summoned up the courage to write my review. This was a landmark series. It set the bar for non-network television productions: the story, acting, technical magic, locations, international cast, budget, quality were all the best of the best. For me, it will always be about story and characters: George R.R. Martin's concepts were epic and compelling; I can't imagine a better cast or better performances (indeed they harvested from some of the greatest while also forging a new generation of talent). No matter where you land with the ending (and I'm still not sure how I feel about it) this has been a tremendous ride and it has change our landscape of expectations. I can give this series no less than a 10 (watershed moment) out of 10. [Epic Fantasy Action Adventure Drama]
I am in love with this show, but after 8th season this is f&$#ed up
Best TV show ever! Ended to soon....
Best TV show ever, only issue was D&D cut episodes at the end S/B 100 episodes or very least 80...
This is one of the best I've ever seen on TV!
Amazing if you only watch Seasons 1-3.
One of the best shows I've seen in terms of dialogue and surprise. The only reason I'm giving it a 9 and not a 10 is because of the rushed and poor season finale. In my opinion, the show started as a 10/10, then gravitated towards a 9/10 and ended the season finale on a 5/10 performance. While disappointed with the ending (the season itself not the plot/story), I'm grateful for the many season Game of Thrones entertained me with great dialogue and action-packed events.

:hugging: The Game of Thrones
Super idea. Remained me later
I’ve downgraded the vote from 10 to 9 because the last season was awful!
Anyone who down play this show is mental. The show was epic. Start to finish. Standing ovations to everyone who lived and died. It left me wanting more but content with what I GOT.
BEST SHOW EVA! ——-Sike lol :)
I had to downgrade the rating form 10 -> 9 all is because of Season 8, this is how you almost ruin the best show in the world...!
Chapeau Breaking bad :)
Idk abt anybody else but I found that ending to be real lame for a series finale.:unamused:
can't believe it's over
An amazing show tainted by disappointing deviations from the source material and two absolutely awful last seasons. Bad last seasons will always ruin a show for me if the show is intended to portrait a continuous story with ever evolving characters and plot lines. The ending is as important as the beginning if you are trying to tell me a story. The ending of Game of Thrones was a joke, some of the worst writing I have ever witnessed on TV, the show was ruined and honestly at this point I just want to forget about it. The fans deserved better. George R R Martin deserved better. The people that worked on the show deserved better. It's what you get when a show is made hostage by two horrible writers that are in a hurry to ruin Star Wars next. I honestly wouldn't recommend this show to anyone anymore unless they don't mind getting massively disappointed with the last 20 episodes or so.
If you enjoyed the finale, power to you, but this is my opinion. Game of Thrones is a show I don't intend to watch ever again. Hopefully HBO wont ruin the prequels/spin-offs although I don't think I care anymore.
After reviewing the 8 seasons individually and averaging my personal scores it gets a 7.4 out of 10 from me, it's a shame because the first four seasons were close to being perfect.
A show that left me waiting every minute for the next episode for the past 9 years, binged watched Season 7 in one night leaving me in a zombie state the next day but well worth it. Seeing the end coming had me anxious and we would religiously watch each episode of Season 8 as it is released, and the episodes were damn good. It was so good it brought people who are not into this Genre to love it and be invested in it as the story unfolds
The ending is not what I was expecting, and I was left unsatisfied and wanting more. I still loved every season of the show but for a show that always set the standard high, it wasn't what I was expecting at the end for such a phenomenal show which was true thrilling roller-coaster. I'm trying not to ruin it for anyone with a spoiler but I loved this show and still do even with the ending that we saw
Lets hope that a show can match the story telling of Game Of Thrones, with an ensemble of fantastic actors, amazing visual effects, and fantastic story telling to fill this void at HBO

Game of Thrones is a great show, it comes from an amazing book series and while I don't agree with many of the differences between the two the show is still great. There are parts that will infuriate you, both due to nonsensical writing and due to purposeful story situations but it tells a really compelling story. There are a ton of characters so you will easily find a few that you'll love no matter who you are. The action is fairly well done, the fantasy aspects are kept in control, and the thematic presence of the show is fantastic if you are into that. The acting ranges from very, very weak to very strong. The set and costume design is gorgeous and really takes you to another world. The directing is hit and miss but definitely hits more than it misses. if you like Fantasy, politics, or just shows in general that get you to speculate a lot then GOT is a good choice. I do think it is overrated but it is still great.
Season Ranking: 8>1>3>7>6>>>>>>4>>>>>>>>2>>>>>>>>>>>>>5
Just watched the last episode. I love this series. I might rewatch it in a few years, or maybe in a year. Although, many episodes will make me relive the shock, pain, and agony that we all experienced. It would be still worth it, in my opinion. I would have wanted, though, to have seen more characters that were in the books, characters so cool and badass like Big Bucket Wull and to hear his great speech "My last winter.", ad other great speeches that were not included.
But, I am still gratefull for this series.
Thank you, Game of Thrones.
And here it is: the end of the biggest television show of all time.
Seasons 1-4 are (close to) perfect.
Seasons 5-6 are where some of the cracks start to appear, with some filler episodes that don't build a lot of character. However, they're still great seasons nonetheless.
Seasons 7-8 are good, not great. They have certain pacing (rushed developments, teleportation of characters) and writing issues (plot armour, unsatisfying & unearned conclusions etc.). It is especially the level of production that elevates these seasons above average television.
Am I also unsatisfied with how they handled certain characters at the very end? Absolutely.
Do I think, however, that they mostly stuck the landing? Yes.
S1: 9.5/10; S2: 9/10; S3: 9.5/10; S4: 10/10; S5: 8/10; S6: 8/10; S7: 7/10; S8: 7/10
Overall rating: 8.4/10
Great Show but the last season broke the show, that why i changed my vote from 9 to 6. All nice little hints and stories became broke in the season so this show was a real disappointment for me.
I can’t believe that it will be the last time I will Watch GOT in my entire life. I hope the next TV shows will become like this magic
Don't waste your time with this.
i can’t fucking breathe
The most interesting thing about GOT is any character got a surprise death. You just sit there and cheer up for your favorite character. Now, bum, he/she is dead. Red Wedding still give me goosebumps
I hate having to wait to watch next episode :exploding_head::exploding_head:
as a big fan have to say it is probably the worst episode I've seen
Awesome and amazing job on this serie. Who do you think will sit on the Iron Throne for good?
At least this and last episode had some breathing room. The breakneck pace of the first three, while thrilling and beautifully executed, has really exhausted me. Rewatching this, I can see that the binge is not the best way to watch this show! Maybe one a day, or every couple of days.
One of my favorite shows. I'm sad this is the last season.
Staring through the window at the weather outside is more exciting than watching this slow moving fantasy play but I wish everyone fun with their dragons, dwarfs and other stuff from this show. ps. When did winter come? Was it season 6 or so? gj.
Many episodes are really boring, especially in the early seasons.Some other are really good but they are not so musch, however is highly overrated
Have really enjoyed this show. Recommended for sure
Winter is here. If you haven’t watch this series, watch this series
Yeah, agree it is the best show ever, effects, acting, scenery etc, fantastic. Watching it for the second time before season eight arrives and seeing and learning more than first time round, but.......I just hope it is not just going to end up as another bloody zombie, (white walkers), show, hate them.......Season six episode 5 shows intent.......
I really hope there is a bit more depth and interest than killing zombies.........
The BEST show ever on TV
Awesome watch out for the game
It's very very good
Good movie love it you must see it
I love the show addicted to the show
i enjoyed GOT so much
Absolutely the best television show ever made. Superb is doing it an injustice
Very good
Lovely appreciate this
The have very great shows
LOVE IT! CROWS BEFORE HOES!
Absolutely love this series, bummer the final season will be starting soon!!
It's Goooooood. Really just watch it. The hype is real
I Superly Love this show
Can't wait for final season
It's the best series ever!
sorry I don't get the hype, maybe because I'm European and tits and ass are nothing special here lol
Games of Thrones season 7 was the best ever, all the annoying people are gone and we can concentrate on the best one. A good series, intrigues takes time but not betrayals ! Well can't wait to see the rest !
Great show love the suspense
Super movie,want to watch it again and again,waitin for part 8 in 2019
One of the best series I've ever seen in my life !!! Everything perfect, it holds from start to finish, who never watched I do not consider a series lover. Each episode is like it was a movie so well produced that it is !!!
An amazing tv show, just a little to slow
Then going to say much more than awesome I'm just sad that they're only making one more season and it's going to take almost 3 years to make it
cersei lannister did nothing wrong
I know they're different genres, but I think Breaking Bad is superior to Game of Thrones. I love GOT, but they screwed up season five. Only dialogue, nothing happening.
I love Cersei so much.
Lost my interest pretty fast.. Stopped at season 3. Couldn't make myself watch it further than that.
The Elder Scrolls: TV series
It would honestly be a regret if I haven't still watched Game of Thrones by now. Gladly I did, and it's marvelous! ✌
I'm on book 2 almost done. if you love the show and love reading, i strongly advise you to get the books to. because you will find yourself going back to watch the show again. the cast is brilliant. the characters that you hate, just know that's how great of an acting job they do.
Is one of the most brilliant shows of television. Somethings could had been left out, but all in all, it is a show to exercise your mind, and wishing they for more history behind each kingdom. Plus some of the most beautiful scenery you'll ever see. Great show for mythical lovers
I really don't understand why this is so popular. It's boring, horribly slow, the story repeats itself again and again, terrible acting.... Why? Oh I really tryed watching it, thinking "it must be me; it must be good; do your best; make an effort", but I after season 1 I still couldn't find anything that entertained me, not even a bit. It just annoyed me. So just keep the hype going without me!
best to series of 20th century
Awesome love it can’t wait for the next season watched all up to 7
The best Serie that ever existed.
Great serie, awsome characters , please continu a few seasons
Action packed. They can’t make them fast enough
The most beautiful, interesting and amazing TV series for me. I love it. Also I wait the 8 season
Games of thrones is my favourite movie
The BEST show I have ever seen!!
the best show in the history
Now this is the Game of Thrones I know and love, Dragons battling and fire raging, as for "Arya stark" it's about time we see her fighting and what a show.. Don't you dare close your eyes when you sleep or Arya will slash your throat.
THE BEST SHOW ON TV. I SAY WANTING TO TO NOT RIDE THE GAME OF THRONES HYPE TRAIN BUT IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD.
"The North remember". Arya wins!
"Tell them that winter came for House Frey"
Watching the best series of all again! 60 hours in about 2 weeks time, let's go!
I'm caving to peer pressure.
When his brother is wrongly convicted of murder
The series has been awesome so far, can it get any better¿
Awesome show that you just can't miss.
I want to watch the last season!!!
could not stop watching burnt up 9 days
love love love love it

"Game of Thrones" is a dark fantasy story about the way in which power corrupts, and everyone, even our biggest heroes, fail us. It is fantasy, but it is adult fantasy. Highly political, violent, dark, and sexual. What makes "Game of Thrones" so great though is that it has created an incredibly epic fantasy world, but still seems so similar to our own. Most of the show is about human desire, and what they will do for love, power and sex. "Game of Thrones" is full of great writing, fantastic character development, awesome build up, and powerful, intense scenes of action, suspense, and emotion. Unfortunately, "Game of Thrones" falls completely off a cliff when it hits season 8, which likely is the only reason it got a 9 instead of a 10 for me. I understand why for some people this ruined the show, but for me, seasons 1-7 were probably the best television I have ever watched (or very close to), and to me, "Game of Thrones" remains an amazing accomplishment.
