Game of Thornes： season 1 [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I don’t watch a series until at least two seasons have been released. Then I am careful to cull reviews from “every day people.” rather than what is written by the critics. I was going to take a LONG plane ride so I figured that downtime would give me an excellent opportunity to watch the first season in one fell swoop (as I like to do).

I have to say I was impressed with the story line and level of detail from the first minute. It’s not very often that the title sequence IS IMPORTANT. I watched it a few times to make sure that I had my “geography” down. I am VERY picky with any type of “story that takes place in an ancient land with knights, armor and horses” but I didn’t find myself rolling my eyes at all. The actors have bad teeth and look “grubby enough” for this type of land.

To give an example of other shows I enjoy: Dexter, American Horror Story: Asylum. The Sopranos, Mad Men. I enjoy good writing and a certain level of violence. Give this series a shot, but don’t watch it if you can’t PAY ATTENTION. It’s not for glancing up at while you’re folding the laundry.

When I first saw ads for Game of Thrones I immediately was super turned off and was sure it was ultra stupid and knew it sucked. Somehow I wound up watching about 5 minutes of an episode and was instantly hooked. I’ve since bought every season. Every single episode/season is the bomb. Best TV movie ever made. Super engaging plots, music, interior and exterior settings, color, characters, suspense, eroticism and everything else are top of the heap. I’ve bought entire seasons and watched 2-3 episodes a night. Can’t begin to recommend it highly enough. I can’t believe that Season 8 isn’t going to be aired until next year. When I heard it was going to be aired this summer I got freaked out wondering how I could wait an entire year without seeing a new season. Recently learned that it won’t come out until next year (2019) and that it will only have 6 episodes. What an immense bummer. But I’m sure it will be more than worth it. I’m in love with Queen Daenerys and won’t be able to stand it if anything bad happens to her.-ElJolto

I gave up my cable after paying over $200 a month (basic cable and internet) I finally came to my senses and realize what I could do with an extra $2400 a year. I happened to be shopping at Menards and the two gentlemen that were assisting me couldn’t stop talking about this show. Out of curiosity I wanted to know what was this great show that they couldn’t stop talking about, and they told me the Game Of Thrones. I asked around and everyone I talked to couldn’t stop raving about what a great show it was. I had no intention of ever flushing that kind of money down the drain again by going back to cable so I decided to try amazon. I first purchased only one episode because I didn’t know if I would like it or not. They had me hooked from the very first episode. I love the interesting story lines, that gradually draws you into a world that at first glance, I never could have imagined I would enjoy. I think this is my favorite show right after the Walking Dead.- Norma
