What is the general opinion?

Main title (uncredited) Written and performed by Ramin Djawadi. Let’s say you’re reading these reviews and haven’t seen GoT yet, but you’re thinking about watching a marathon now that it’s over. In this case, the consensus is correct, which is: Seasons 1-6: Excellent. Deep world-building, intelligent dialogue, epic scenes worthy of Hollywood, professional acting, detailed plot, real surprises, great soundtrack used sparingly. GoT is definitely worth watching because of these seasons.

There are inexplicable ideas, inconsistent characterizations and soap opera drama

Season 7: It suddenly becomes apparent that the quality of the script and plot has deteriorated significantly. But at least the entertainment value is still very high, so you can give it a miss. Season 8: This descent descends to depths you never thought possible. The script has become so amateurish that the still fantastic production values ​​are no longer enough to save it. If you’ve ever enjoyed Lost but were surprised by how bad last season was, you’re in familiar territory here.

Fatal for fiction

The biggest problem last season was that it took us out of the story and made us think about the many flaws. We have lost the will to believe in it. It also ruined the show’s story line to the point where it’s pointless to watch the entire series again. So, may I recommend a GoT marathon for beginners? Yes, the first 6 seasons are worth the disappointment later.

But it’s not the best series of all time

It could have been, but because it failed on its home turf, it falls behind the next better shows that are more worthy of your marathon: Battlestar Galactica (2003-2008) Twin Peaks (all 3 seasons plus the movie) Breaking Bad
