Game of Thrones (2011)
Never read the books, but after finishing season 1, I think I will.
I am completely blown away by this series. After spending my fourth of July finishing all ten episodes (No, I am not a recluse, I was just so hooked that I found nothing else worthwhile of my time), and finding out that the next season won't be released for another year, I've been obsessively looking at posts on the discussion board in hopes of putting my impatience and restlessness at ease. Seeing as that was unproductive use of my time, I decided to write this review instead so that I could at least get some final thoughts off my chest and hopefully get some sleep afterward. The beginning of episode one was a little slow, as they are with all TV series- they need to introduce characters and set the framework for the entire show, rest assured it picks up quickly. A lot of people seem to have a basis of comparison for this show, having been avid readers of the books by GRRM. For the large majority of readers, they haven't been disappointed with this adaptation. To those of you who haven't read the books, coming from a non-reader herself, the show will have the same brilliant effect. Yes, there are a lot of characters, but after episode 1, you slowly get the hang of it, and each episode leaves you craving for more. The acting is superb and incredibly believable, even the minor characters play their part exceptionally well. HBO has never disappointed me with their quality productions, and Game of Thrones is yet another masterpiece. My only hope is that it doesn't meet the same fate as Rome and Deadwood, because, boy would that be a shame.
