Game of Thrones

For this review I'm going to review the HBO series, Game of Thrones. The series is based on books by George R.R. Martin about seven noble families who fight for control of the land of Westeros. I have to be honest; it took me a while before I started watching this. The reason is because I don't have HBO, so I would have to watch the show online. I wasn't against doing that it is just sometimes annoying to do so. I finally gave the show a chance when Target had the Blu Ray versions of the first two seasons for descent prices. After watching the first episode I was hooked. What I watched was a fantasy show with great writing and superb acting. I was so hooked that I finished the first two seasons in a week. It also had me excited for the third season to come one even if I had to watch it online.

The show stars: Sean Bean, who has been in films like Goldeneye and The Lord of the Rings, Lena Headey, who has been in films like 300 and Dredd, Peter Dinklage, who has been in films like Death at a Funeral (British and American) and X-men:Days of Future Past, Emilia Clarke, who was in the film Dom Hemmingway and is in the upcoming film Terminator: Genisys, Kit Harington, who has been in films like Pompeii and How to Train Your Dragon 2, and many others. If you wish to find out who else is in the series here is a link to the cast and crew IMDB page.

To demonstrate the acting I would've posted a clip from Youtube, but after looking at the scenes on that site they all spoil too much of the show and I don't wish to do that. All I have to say is that the acting from everyone is awesome, and it just keeps getting better over the years. In the end, Game of Thrones is a show that will keep you hooked from the very first episode, and you will never get bored of it. Since it is HBO it is not for younger viewers because there is a lot of sex, nudity, blood, gore, and violence. If you can handle this I strongly recommend watching this show. My rating is that anyone old enough should watch this show as soon as you can, or at least give it a chance. You will not regret it.

Please comment, and tell me what you think of the show. Do you like it, hate it, or just don't watch it. If there is anything you wish me to review leave a comment, and I'll add it to my list.
