Game of Thrones features a complex plot with complex characters, stunning cinematography, and intense action scenes, especially numerous battles and fights. It’s hard to deny that it wasn’t a cultural phenomenon that captivated me and many others for eight seasons.

I rate Game of Thrones a nine out of ten for its well-written and layered narrative, as well as its fantastic production value

However, despite the still stunning visuals and extremely high production value, like many fans, I was disappointed and somewhat annoyed by the storytelling in the final season and the way certain plot points were handled, which dropped my rating from a ten to a nine. Regardless, Game of Thrones is still a must-watch for me and I highly recommend it to any fantasy or drama fan in general.
