Nine noble houses fight for control of the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia… Martin’s wife once said she would leave him if he killed Arya or Sansa. Tywin Lannister: Any man who has to say “I am king” is not a true king. During the opening credits, the member’s name is accompanied by the insignia of his/her character’s house. Nominees for Choice: Drama (2011).
Main Title (Uncredited) Written and starring Ramin Djawadi. Over time, I started watching the series “Game of Thrones”; from the first episode (gradual because I was so busy) because I had heard nothing but amazing things about it from friends, family, and IMDb reviewers. Plus, with such great talent and a brilliant book series, how could it go wrong? The good news is that 'Game of Thrones' It didn’t go wrong. Not only is it a rare TV show that does its original source material justice and treats it with respect, but it’s also one of the best, most addictive, and consistently compelling shows in recent years.
A TV show so brilliant that one has to actually check to see if it was made for TV when everything is done to such a high standard that it puts many of the movies being made today to shame. The scenery is spectacular, the sets are extremely atmospheric and beautiful to look at with a real meticulous eye for detail, and the costumes fit the characters to a tee. Then there are the special effects, which are some of the best of any TV show and are neither overused nor abused, the scale, detail, and their actual character and soul are better than those in many big-budget blockbusters. Game of Thrones not to mention thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically layered musical score and unforgettable main theme. Again worthy of a big budget fantasy/action/drama film.
It’s hard not to be offended by the quality of the writing, the adjective excellent is not strong enough to describe how good the writing is. It always flows naturally, is layered and thought-provoking and demonstrates a wide range of emotions such as gripping suspense, touching pathos and witty humor. The plot lines are so beautifully paced, structured with such nuance and emphasis on coherence, high emotional level and touch on complex and sensitive topics with intelligence and tact, never for the good of the cause. Not only are the sets done with plenty of epic scale, excellent staging, excitement and dramatic tension, but underneath all the scale and lavish attention to detail there is a lot of heart and multi-layeredness. They are not too long, nor are there any elements out of place.
These characters are not archetypes of heroes and villains (Joffrey is the only one who comes close, but the difference is that he is an extremely interesting character with great development, who ranks well above a hundred percent on the threat level scale), they are much more, and have strengths and weaknesses. The decisions are logical, and one does not like any character any less when the decision is wrong, because the mistakes are acknowledged and learned from.
