A Game Of Thrones

Based on R. R. Martin's already ground-breaking novels, this show is undoubtedly one of the best in recent times. It's one of the few cases in which the adaptation surpasses the source material, removing the sometimes painfully slow print progression while still imbuing staggering character development.Lord of the Rings forever changed the state of fantasy movies and it's already clear that Game of Thrones will do the same for TV. HBO dared to put a huge budget behind this series, and it's evident that they struck gold. A tale of dragons, wars, and the growth of six children, it holds value for everyone who watches, regardless of their opinion of the genre. With a non-conservative approach to slaying its main characters, Game of Thrones reaches a feeling of suspense and realness rarely seen in TV. By seamlessly blending industry veterans and new stars, it refuses to break viewer immersion for a single moment.
