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.

Eric Deggans NPR In many ways this season of Game of Thrones reached new heights, setting up its endgame in spectacular, meticulous fashion. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly Few shows on television look better than this one, but it's coming up on great-drama retirement age. Game of Thrones is getting older. But it's not dead, yet. Rated: B Apr 26, 2016 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture The world the characters inhabit is still a hugely dangerous one, but at no point did I feel as though the writers were showing us beautiful butterflies in preparation of pulling their wings off. Apr 26, 2016 Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo Confessions From A Geek Mind Game of Thrones delivers where it matters. Entertaining, emotional and shocking, all our game players have been tested and their true colours have been revealed. Rated: 4/5 Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com Occasionally casting logic aside, season six of Game of Thrones succeeds at being good television. Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Molly Templeton Tor.com [It's] a solid stretch of narrative setup and motion when you gulp it down in a sitting or three. Oct 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul S This show never fails to amaze me. I enjoyed every minute of this season. I definitely recommend it for medieval fantasy fans! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Amir S There is a noticeable decrease, but it is still reasonable to watch. Rated 4 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 2 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Atomsk T Amazing action mired by the dumbest writing imaginable Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Greg C Finally a lot happens in this season. Unfortunately, most of it is nonsense and only meant for shock value. I’m only sticking with the series to see it through, not because it really deserves it anymore.
