What’s the consensus?
Main Title (Unlisted)Writer and Showrunner Ramin Djawadi. Let’s say you’re reading these reviews and haven’t watched GoT yet, but now that it’s finished, you’re considering a marathon. In this case, the consensus is accurate, and it is: Seasons 1-6: Excellent. Deep world building, intelligent dialogue, epic Hollywood-worthy sets, expert acting, detailed plot, genuine surprises, a great, sparingly used soundtrack. GoT is definitely worth watching these times.
There are inexplicable ideas, inconsistent characterizations, and soap opera drama
Season 7: suddenly you realize that the writing and plot have gone down a steep hill in quality. But at least the entertainment value is still very high, so it gets a pass. Season 8: this drop into the abyss to depths you didn’t think possible. The writing has gone so amateurish that even the great production values are no longer enough to save it. If you’ve ever enjoyed Lost but were shocked by the poor quality of the last season, you’re on familiar territory here.
Fatal for fiction
The biggest problem with the last season was that it took us out of the story and made us think about its many weaknesses. We lose our disbelief. It also ruined the series arcs to the point where rewatching the entire series is pointless. So can I recommend a GoT marathon for newcomers? Yes, the first 6 seasons are worth the later disappointments.
But it’s not the best series of all time
It could have been, but dropping the ball in the final stretch leaves it behind the following superior series that are more worthy of your marathon: Battlestar Galactica (2003-2008) Twin Peaks (all 3 seasons plus the movie) Breaking Bad
