Game of Thrones features a complex plot with complex characters, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences, especially lots of fights and battles. It’s hard to deny that it hasn’t been a cultural phenomenon that has captivated me and many others for eight seasons.
I give Game of Thrones a nine out of ten for its well-written, multi-layered storytelling, and its fantastic production value
However, despite the still stunning visuals and extremely high production value, like many fans, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed and disappointed by the final season’s storytelling and the way some of the plot points were handled, knocking my rating down from a ten to a nine. Regardless, Game of Thrones is still a must-watch for me, and I highly recommend it to any fan of the fantasy or drama genre in general.
