Game of Thrones Season 1 reviews

I bought this on special purely based on the reviews it received on MA and the net in general (i.e. I knew absolutely nothing about the series before buying it).

The series itself is actually really well produced. Both the actors (in their respective roles) and the locations are depicted in a way that really draws you into the relevant worlds created.

As for the quality – well anyone who has enjoyed high quality full HD/bluray will not be dissapointed. Both visuals and sound are top-notch, and essentially create the foundation for believable watching.

Would definately recommend to anyone who want to throw away a few hours in front of the box :)

The TV show is a gripping version of the books and in Blu-ray hi-def it looks and sounds superb. Some nice extras fill in the back-story.

Can't wait for the season 2 on bluray. Hope mighty ape will have it soon!

Need to buy this. Great entertainment

Easily one of the best TV Series to date. Every episode never had a dull moment and kept me wanting more. Can't wait till I get my hands on season 2!! It was so good I even bought the books which I will begin reading shortly. It's bonus features are great to watch as well. I am certainly VERY impressed.

Game of thrones is awesome best programme out.

Game of Thrones is an awesome series. If you haven't seen it, watch it! I have the books and am going to buy all the series on blu-ray.

Well its taken me a while to watch this series but now that I have I am hooked WOW so well acted and filmed like magic .........bring on series 2 and 3

Most interesting and complex charters and story in a tv show. Can't wait until the next session to cone to nz on blu ray.

Cant wait for the next series this was great to watch as I have the books as well

Haven't watched the blurays yet but of course I've seen the series.

The bluray comes with a foldout insert with pictures of the cast members and their family tree (the tree is the official tree – no incest on it!). It makes it so much easier to keep track of everyone.

Awesome.

This is a great tv series. If you like the books you'll like these also as it closely follows the book unlike other attempts at novel based tv series. Highly recommend to get on blue ray.

I havent seen a series like this with such high production values & so brillantly cast & acted. & while its a fantasy setting its is realisticly done, very little magic & creatures. Sean bean is the man!!!!! but the dwarf is a close 2nd. you will be hooked after 1 epesode. better than walking dead!!!

The series is brilliant, the special features add some cool background info and insight.

Love the show. Good bonus content.

Absolutely fantastic, can't wait for the second series what a superb adaptation from book to tv

I can watch it over and over… Seriously, I will sit here and completely nerd out over it given half a chance. Awesome adaptation of an amazing series.

Game of Thrones is a television adaptation of “A Game of Thrones,” the first in George R. R. Martin's coveted series “A Song of Ice and Fire.” As a fan of the books, I can honestly say it is one of the most faithful and enduring adaptations of all time. The 10 episode series features mind-blowingly brilliant acting, writing, direction, and art design. The huge production values mean the level of detail in the medieval world rivals that of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The show itself deserves five stars for being one of the most entertaining television productions to date, but the Blu-ray treatment makes it even better. The transfer to HD is flawless, and the wealth of extras is truly exceptional. Making-of featurettes, cast and crew commentaries, and even an encyclopedia of the places, peoples and historical events to do with the seven kingdoms of Westeros (and beyond) makes the Blu-ray version of Game of Thrones the greatest. Beware: the violence, profanity and sexual content of this show is very explicit – this is not the Lord of the Rings! Regardless, Game of Thrones is perhaps the best show of last year, and an absolute triumph for HBO. With the added Blu-ray features, granting this package five stars is a gross understatement.

My only complaint is 10 episdes is to short, they have done a fantastic job of cutting down the books to a tv series without missing anything to important, but still 20 episodes would be better.

Game of Thrones is one of the best television series out and its even greater in HD. There is so many great features on this addition, Get it ASAP !!!
