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.

Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter There is indeed much to love in this series, even as it lurches forward in season five. Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Sarah Larson The New Yorker The episode ends with a decision that makes you want to cheer. Oct 20, 2015 Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today The fifth season of Game of Thrones saw many of our characters - some our favorites, some less so - rise higher than they have in the whole five seasons.

Zack K Absolute unwatchable garbage. Awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Paul S The show took a lot of turns this season, and it was great! I had so much fun watching it. I definitely recommend it for medieval fantasy fans! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Audience Member Many great Battle's like Season 4 And damm the White walkers are great scary like Nazgul from The Lord Of The Rings. The story is still interesting! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Amir S The same idea I talked about last season - the same for this season. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Marco L Game of Thrones, basada en la serie de novelas Canción de Hielo y Fuego de George R. R. Martin, se consolidó como una de las producciones más ambiciosas y exitosas en la historia de la televisión. Desde su estreno, la serie destacó por su capacidad para combinar una narrativa compleja, personajes profundamente humanos y un mundo de fantasía detallado y fascinante. El elenco es uno de los pilares fundamentales del éxito de la serie. Actores como Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey y Kit Harington ofrecieron interpretaciones memorables, dotando a sus personajes de matices y profundidad. Tyrion Lannister se convirtió en uno de los favoritos del público, gracias a la inteligencia mordaz y la vulnerabilidad que Peter Dinklage supo imprimirle. Daenerys Targaryen, interpretada por Emilia Clarke, evolucionó de ser una joven inexperta a una figura poderosa y compleja, aunque su desarrollo en las últimas temporadas generó debate entre los seguidores. En términos de producción, Game of Thrones marcó un nuevo estándar en la televisión. Sus espectaculares paisajes, un diseño de vestuario meticuloso y los innovadores efectos visuales transportaron a los espectadores a Westeros y Essos de una manera que pocas series han logrado. Las escenas de batalla, en particular, se convirtieron en momentos icónicos, destacando por su escala y detalle. Sin embargo, la serie no estuvo exenta de problemas. Las primeras temporadas se beneficiaron de la rica narrativa de los libros de George R. R. Martin, pero cuando la serie sobrepasó el material original, su ritmo y cohesión comenzaron a resentirse. Las últimas temporadas, aunque visualmente impresionantes, sacrificaron en ocasiones el desarrollo de personajes y la coherencia narrativa en favor de momentos grandilocuentes. Esto fue especialmente evidente en el desenlace, que dividió a la audiencia por su ejecución y resolución de tramas. A pesar de estas críticas, es innegable que Game of Thrones dejó una huella imborrable en la cultura popular. Su capacidad para generar conversación, teorías y emociones encontradas es testimonio de su impacto. Aunque imperfecta, sigue siendo una obra monumental que redefinió lo que una serie de televisión podía lograr. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Daniel N Greatest show of all time with the worst ending of all time. Was brilliant while they followed the source material from the books but as soon as the writers took over and they stopped consulting with George R.R. Martin the story took a serious nose dive. The first 5 seasons were perfect, the final 3 seasons were garbage. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
