Overview
Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Friction between the houses leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north.

Seasons 1 through 4 of Game of Thrones set a new standard for epic fantasy on television. The production values were unprecedented, the political intrigue was gripping, and the willingness to kill major characters kept every viewer on edge. It is a shame the final two seasons were rushed, but the first four seasons alone make this essential viewing.

Game of Thrones starts as a masterpiece and ends as a disappointment, but the journey is still worth taking. The early seasons are nearly perfect. Only the final season truly falls apart. Watch it for seasons 1 through 6 and form your own opinion about the ending.

The scope and ambition of Game of Thrones has never been matched on television. Even with its flawed ending, it remains essential viewing. The Battle of the Bastards alone is worth the entire runtime.
