George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It's the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne. Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain.

Critics Consensus

Bloody and captivating as always, Game of Thrones plunges back into the midst of a world touched by grief, dread, and precarious sexuality.

Few shows on television look better than this one, but it's coming up on great-drama retirement age. Game of Thrones is getting older. But it's not dead, yet.

The world the characters inhabit is still a hugely dangerous one, but at no point did I feel as though the writers were showing us beautiful butterflies in preparation of pulling their wings off.

Game of Thrones delivers where it matters. Entertaining, emotional and shocking, all our game players have been tested and their true colours have been revealed.

Occasionally casting logic aside, season six of Game of Thrones succeeds at being good television.

[It's] a solid stretch of narrative setup and motion when you gulp it down in a sitting or three.

I’m going to be 100% honest: this season is acceptable, but the final stretch is what saves it. The season has some logical flaws and pretty bad pacing, but "Battle of the Bastards" (9.6/10) and "The Winds of Winter" (9.9/10) are absolutely insane. It’s a pretty good season, honestly, but those episodes aren’t enough to save the entire season. 8/10.

5 and 6 I am giving the same take on: Thrones at its best.

I love this show. The end.

@RT40119421 Jun 25, 2026

It got worse with every season. The writers are clearly stalling with filler episodes and boring plotlines. I gave up because I couldn't take the slow, pointless story anymore.

I loved the entire season, but the finale was on another level — epic from start to finish. 10/10

The peak of the series. A season with hardly any time wasted, each episode is great an eventful but the final two are magnificent, with one of the greatest and most brutal battle scenes ever shot. Still has a lot of build up for what's next, but also feels like the most complete and cinematic chapter, a masterpiece worthy season. 10/10
