The pick of the year’s top television featured ghosts, gangsters, comedy buffoons – and a hot priest Show Published: 19 Dec 2019 July 2017
What seemed as though it was going to be a relatively quiet episode ended in mayhem - but behind the big set pieces this show’s main interest lies in the nature of governance The time for politics is over. The great war is here and if there was an attitude to embrace for season seven, then it was a suspended disbelief. Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 16, 2020 While I found "Dragonstone" to be completely engaging, I was expecting a bit more action. It's evident the writers decided to go with the slow build. I take that to mean the remaining six episodes of this season should be quite the feast. Full Review | Apr 5, 2019 At long last, Game of Thrones is back. The HBO drama opened its seventh season with an unexpected but satisfying bit of revenge and then pulled back to take the temperature of our core players. Full Review | Apr 5, 2019 The season premiere of Game of Thrones was thoroughly satisfying, a transporting hour that brilliantly reestablished the chessboard for the new, penultimate season. Full Review | Apr 5, 2019 Every single episode in this season felt like it was integral to the overall storyline and everyone felt like they were being used to their fullest potential. Full Review | Aug 20, 2018 For an episode that had the narrative restriction of having to set up the new season, I have to say it balanced them well and managed to be quite compelling. Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2018 Now what?! We must wait so, so long before the new, albeit final, season of Game of Thrones where all hell breaks lose. Full Review | Jun 26, 2018 The geopolitical drama that unfolds in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series is so epic in scope that it can make Lord of the Rings feel like Cliff's Notes. Full Review | Jun 2, 2018 Now we're to the part of the story where light fantasy takes over, and the ultra-fast pacing means there's no hard-bitten naturalist storyline to balance it out. So we're losing something, but we're gaining a swashbuckling momentum too. Full Review | May 22, 2018 The show leaves me colder than a spell in the Land of Always Winter. Full Review | May 16, 2018 Emilia Clarke really wasn't kidding when she called the finale "divisive." Full Review | May 10, 2018 With its high stakes drama, glorious action set pieces, and thumping heart, it's still better than 99% of the rest of television. Full Review | Jan 31, 2018 I was completely entertained at this season...though I do miss the scheming and plotting from previous seasons. I want it to pay off in big ways, but I don't want it to lose what it was. Full Review | Jan 24, 2018 With the women more badass than ever, the men were left to do the touchy-feely stuff. Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2017 Benioff and Weiss's attempt to glue everything back together and if not start the game again return the pieces to positions that might make for a more interesting and considered endgame... worked. Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2017 Game of Thrones is special. Beyond the sex, and the death, and the sexy death, and indeed the deathly sex, it functions as a sort of cultural breakthrough. Full Review | Dec 28, 2017 In its penultimate season, this show continues to fire on all cylinders achieving something truly breathtaking. Full Review | Original Score: 4.0/4 | Oct 31, 2017 The breakneck speed at which the show is hurtling toward some big conclusion is hurting plots that could have serious emotional ramifications. Full Review | Sep 20, 2017 At times this season has practically felt like fan fiction - and that's exactly what has made it one of the most satisfying seasons yet.
