Quite the opposite
I’ve been slowly getting into Game of Thrones; since the first episode (slowly, because I’m so busy) I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about it from friends, family, and IMDb reviewers. Plus, with such great talent and an amazing book series, how could it go wrong? The good news is that Game of Thrones didn’t do it wrong. Not only is it a rare TV show that honors and respects its source material, it’s also one of the best, most engaging, and consistently compelling shows of recent years. The show is so amazing that it’s worth checking out if it’s made for TV, when everything is done to a high standard that puts most movies made today to shame.
Visually, Game of Thrones looks amazing
This is one of the strongest examples of an acclaimed show that deserves all the accolades it’s received. The scenery is spectacular, the sets are extremely atmospheric and beautiful to the eye, the detail is meticulous, and the costumes fit the characters to a tee. Furthermore, the special effects are some of the best of any television program, and are not overused or abused, their scale, detail and character and soul are better than most big budget blockbusters. Also the cinematography and editing, which are also of cinematic quality. Not to mention the thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically layered musical scores and the unforgettable main theme.
#39; always for a reason, never because
Again, worthy of a big budget fantasy/action/drama film. It is hard not to admire the quality of the writing, excellent is not a strong enough adjective to describe how well written it is. It always has a natural flow, it is multi-layered, thought-provoking and displays a wide range of emotions such as tense tension, sharp pathos and witty humor. The plot is so beautifully paced, structured with such nuance and attention to consistency, a high emotional level, and skillfully and tactfully touches on complex and sensitive themes. Not only are the details executed with great epic scale, great staging, excitement, and dramatic tension, but there is also a lot of heart and layers beneath the huge scale and sharp attention to detail.
much more, and it has its advantages and disadvantages
They are not too long, and there are no inappropriate elements. The characters are also a big part of the appeal. 'Game of Thrones' has characters that are as well-developed and as close to real life as possible, despite being set in a fantasy world. These characters are not archetypes of heroes and villains (Joffrey is the only one close to that, but the difference is that he is extremely interesting, well-developed, and ranks well above one hundred percent on the threat level scale). The decisions are logical, and none of the characters like it less if the decision is not correct, because mistakes are acknowledged and learned from.
