Game of Thrones offers a complex plot with complex characters, stunning cinematography and intense action scenes, especially the many battles and fights. It’s hard to deny that it wasn’t a cultural phenomenon that captivated me and many others for eight seasons.
storytelling and its fantastic production value
I rated Game of Thrones a nine out of ten because of its well-written and multi-layered nature. However, despite still having amazing visuals and extremely high production values, like many fans, I was disappointed and somewhat frustrated with the final season’s storytelling and handling of certain plot points, which lowered my rating from a ten.
one to nine
That being said, Game of Thrones remains a must watch series for me and I still highly recommend it to any fan of fantasy or drama in general.
