SummaryAdapted from George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire", this series is about a fantasy world where royal houses battle for the Iron Throne.
The horrors of war, the danger of shifting alliances and the anguish of intra-family rivalries raise the dramatic stakes, matched by the glorious visuals.
There are few sagas nowadays that grip you from start to finish like the third season of Game of Thrones does, the best of eight. And there are few seasons like this that are virtually flawless. And indeed, maybe it was just that. The episode 3x09 "The Rains of Castamere" is a milestone on the television productions of the decade, perhaps the most successful episode of the entire saga, when, in an episode that is at times normal, the last five minutes are enough to inevitably upset definitively and permanently the balance that was accompanied by two seasons and which will condition the following ones. Perfection.
Here’s to a dense, layered, enterprising and fascinating journey through Season 3--and as many more seasons as need be to complete this incomparable fantasy.
Those who make the investment are richly rewarded. There's enough tension, betrayal, treachery, greed and sex, after all, to fill eight seasons of "Scandal."
While Season 3, like the novel on which it is based, takes a little while to get going, when it does pick up speed, it soars--particularly in the sensational third and fourth installments.
[Peter Dinklage, Ciaran Hinds, Paul Kaye, and Dianna Rigg are] all fun to watch, even when their characters don’t have anything in particular to do besides relay information that we need to keep up with the story or keep straight the seven (so we’re told) warring families.
Fantastic Show, however too many *in my opinion* main characters dying, which I think makes it more realistic,as no one lives forever, but what next when all main characters are gone? New characters bought in with a simple distance relationship background story with the dead ones? Slow down Thrones, I want you to last a good few seasons.
What a snorefest! Apparently the books are the same, but come on! Season 3 was like a soap opera, lucky to move across a room in five episodes. I loved the red wedding because something had finally happened!
Season 3 went the way the books did nowhere.
There is no coherent story as such, the scenes jump all over the place.
The only thing that is left some CGI action but thats not enough to make it interesting.
