      Season 8 – Game of Thrones

      2019 Drama Fantasy TRAILER for Game of Thrones: Season 8 Opening Credits List
      55% 699 Reviews Tomatometer 30% 10,000+ Ratings Audience Score 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.

      Matthew Rozsa Salon.com There is something courageous about a television series that is brave enough to reimagine Richard III as a hero. Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Graeme Blundell The Australian Game of Thrones finally finished, the last episode aptly titled The Long Night and it was a terrible ending, disappointing for fans, causing a collective cringe around the globe. Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com [This season] made choices that I just didn't understand...you have to wrap it up somehow, and this season is just full of more extremes and it just doesn't work anymore or fit in with the rest... May 22, 2019 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica After George RR Martin's books ended, the show's mojo seemed to follow. It may have still constituted event TV, but in retrospect that was based on the strength of the fan community and massive marketing more than the material itself. Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Kshitij Rawat The Indian Express SHOCKING things happened just because they had shock value. They bore no connection to anything else that had happened before them. There was hardly any organic, believable storytelling leading up to those moments. Thus, they felt shallow. Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo Confessions From A Geek Mind Season eight can be summed up in a phrase - missed opportunities. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Daniel C Lacking the foundation of the books in which the series is based, the final seasons lack the expansive world building, sturdy storytelling and thorough character development that we have become accustomed with in the earlier seasons. The showrunners attempt at an all encompassing, entertaining and satisfying ending fall horribly flat. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Nick S POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD: I re-watched it after having watched it first when it came out. The time and years gave me a feeling that the plot direction and resolution WAS in fact better than I thought when i first watched it. It's very un-rewarding and demoralizing, which makes sense given what the show had given us throughout the years. It shouldn't have been this amazing ending with everything we wanted... it should be this bleak, unrewarding ending. That said though, the season still suffers from pacing and writing issues. A lot of illogical situations and weird loopholes - which really hurts it a lot more than the ending alone would have. It really needed those extra 2 episodes (AT LEAST) with preferably a whole extra season - to be truly rewarding to viewers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Kevin K I found this hilarious unlike the people I knew who were hoping this would end well Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Bintang A very bad and disappointing last season of one of the best TV series of all time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Jerdabear33 Yes, it has flaws. But it still has a lot more than just that. With plotlines resolving, loose ends tied up, and the biggest conflicts in Westeros History, it delivers on the spectacle. It also is a rather poetic and fitting end for many characters. It dares to have some characters heel spin on their entire arc, but I think that was the point. This show established in it's first season that it's not afraid to break the rules, and in life sometimes, people revert back to their old self or give into their anger. However, there are also those characters who don't let that bring them down. They stay the course and do the right thing no matter what and overall, that's what life is. All we can do is our best, we just have to stay strong, especially in those times where others give in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Scarface The Hound vs The Mountain is the most powerful scene in TV history. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
