New York Post - Linda Stasi

Mar 28, 2013

Not as much sex as you may be used to, but plenty of action, and enough complexities to keep geeks, geniuses and fans glued to the strange and wonderful world of the Seven Kingdoms all spring. Read full review

Still TV's best--dive in while the water's warm. Read full review

CNN - Brian Lowry

Apr 14, 2019

The show has stepped up its pacing. For the most part, that has been immensely satisfying, yielding crowd-pleasing moments that the and that the series generally avoided in the often-grim journey, especially for the Stark kids, which has led to this point. Read full review

The Huffington Post - Maureen Ryan

Mar 28, 2012

The storytelling by executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and their writing staff is increasingly assured and judicious; the first-rate cast continues to mine the full depth of the material; and the show itself is visually commanding, especially in the hands of Alan Taylor, who directed the first two episodes of the season.

Uncle Barky - Ed Bark

Mar 29, 2012

It's all a lot to swallow, let alone digest. But Game of Thrones nonetheless is an undertaking worth applauding for its audacity if not always for its overall senses of direction or cohesion. Read full review

The Daily Beast - Jace Lacob

May 30, 2013

While Season 3, like the novel on which it is based, takes a little while to get going, when it does pick up speed, it soars--particularly in the sensational third and fourth installments. Read full review

Time - Judy Berman

Apr 15, 2019

As in season 7, the big problem with “Winterfell”—the reason it felt more like an unlucky videographer’s rendering of an exceptionally dysfunctional family reunion than like a carefully crafted story—was the pacing. Read full review

Back in 2013 I tried to watch GoT, but because of my age back then I disliked it so much, I wouldn't even try to see it for next 6 years. Because of hype for season 8 I gave it a chance, and finished 7 seasons in a little more than a week. I think it's the best show I've ever seen and will see.

The best series that I watched. Each series has its own drama, its own meaning. Season 8, there are no words at all.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 8, was just such a disappointed, granted we still have one episode left but I doubt they will bring it all together. Why would the writers spoil us with such good writing just to let us down so hard? The series over all is good.… Expand

I've been waiting for the last episode for so many years and now I feel so disappointed with it. Terrible story writing, terrible scenes, it's not GoT anymore, it's changed into Disney's fantasy. Seriously, for all seasons they've been building a tension in waiting for the winter and NightI've been waiting for the last episode for so many years and now I feel so disappointed with it. Terrible story writing, terrible scenes, it's not GoT anymore, it's changed into Disney's fantasy. Seriously, for all seasons they've been building a tension in waiting for the winter and Night King's attack. It's chaotic yet predictable. Characters now happened to be black&white.; I miss old GoT ;(… Expand

Worst ending to a TV show in my entire life. Don't let the 10/10 paid for reviews fool you. The show is terrible.
