Game of Thrones - Season 1 (2011)

Creators: David Beinoff, D.B.Weiss, Robert R R Martin
Cast:       Lena Hadley, Jack Gleeson, Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Aidan Gillen

Its an adaptation of fantasy novel series 'Song of Ice and Fire' (Robert R R Martin. Its supposed to be a seven part series with 5 parts already out and the season one of TV series is the adaptation of first one called Game of Thrones. Even though its of fantasy genre it is essentially a political drama with great characters. The greatest thing about it is that there are no black and white characters. All of them are scheming unpredictable real life like people. Love it. There is a dwarf character who is my favorite from the show. First season has 10 episodes. The production quality is very high with exquisite visuals. The budget for first season was about 60 million dollars and they are not wasting it on shitty CGI. Even though you might get the impression of an action packed series from the trailer, its far from it. Its all about the characters.


Season two will be aired next year only. Planning to read the novels before that.


Season 1: 4.5/5
