Game of Thrones: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] [2011] [2019]

Product Information

Game of Thrones is a great television drama. It’s a series I actually resisted starting until the original Season One Blu-ray release. Then I ended up watching all ten episodes in a single sitting, and became a loyal viewer for the remainder of the series’ run. As such, I’m pleased to report that HBO has done Game of Thrones proud on Ultra HD. The image is improved, the sound is improved, and this is the most complete and comprehensive collection of extras to date. If you’re a fan of the show and you’ve made the leap to 4K, this set is a fine and worthy upgrade. It’s not cheap, so get it on sale if you can. Nevertheless, this release is very highly recommended. Although all armies appear to be rivals they will have to come together to have any chance of defeating the threat and staying alive against the vast Army of The Dead but will they all rally to the cause ?

Dec 16 -- Additional comment after completing watching all six seasons, and a number of the special features.

Based on the fantasy book series A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin, HBO’s Game of Thrones tells the story four great family Houses in the ancient, alternate world kingdom of Westeros—the Starks, the Lannisters, the Baratheons, and the Targaryens. Each of them is vying for power, for control of the kingdom’s Iron Throne, with political intrigue, bloodletting, and betrayal a-plenty. Though there are indeed many characters included along the way from the seven kingdoms of Westeros the story centres upon the Starks from Winterfell in the north, we follow the fate of each including John Snow (Kit Harington) Ned Starks bastard son, along with Arya Stark (Masie Williams) and sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) and crippled brother Bran ( Isaac Hempstead Wright') Dec 16 -- Additional comment: Have now worked my way up through Season 4, Episode 2 and have not had any problems getting any of the disks to play perfectly on my Sony Blu-ray player (here in the United States). As long as you don't get in a big hurry and try to jam too many commands on top of each other you should be just fine with these region-free disks. Beyond its epic, winding narrative of politics, betrayal, and loyalty, what really makes 'Game of Thrones' so special, is its multifaceted web of characters and the emotional relationships that develop between them. Every role, from major player to seemingly inconsequential extra, is brought to life with nuance and believability through expert writing and impeccable casting. All of the actors perfectly inhabit their characters, making it nearly impossible to imagine any other individual in their shoes. Sean Bean is inspiring as Eddard Stark, a lone, truly honorable man thrust into a sea of sharks. He is everything all heroes aspire to be, but that doesn't make him perfect, and it's his human flaws that end up fueling his greatest strengths and weaknesses. His journey and battle against corruption is the heart of the first season and Bean carries Ned's arc to an emotionally stirring conclusion that will leave viewers breathless. A television show that took place during a magical medieval time period, populated with zombies, mystical creatures, monsters, giants, and dragons was not expected to be one of the best shows on television. But that's what Game Of Thrones became - the best, most-watched, and talked about the show for eight years showcasing the lives and deaths of several kingdoms in the fictional land of Westeros. Closely following a group of families known as the Starks, the Targaryens, and the Lannisters, all of who are vying for the iron throne to rule the world, cross vicious paths of blood, betrayal, torture, and sex before winter shows up on the front lawn.

Of course, given the story's vast scope and extensive cast, some characters are marginalized from time to time (I actually forgot the youngest Stark child even existed until he showed up again in the last few episodes) but to the writers' credit, almost everyone gets their moment to shine. Dialogue is poetic and lyrical while still remaining believable (and wonderfully crass when it wants to be). While the show is full of grand, dramatic beats, the series' quieter moments are equally memorable. Simple exchanges, like a heart to heart between the King and Queen, or a drinking game with Tyrion and his companions, prove to be just as revealing and emotionally resonant as any of the show's louder scenes. Then of course, there is the end of episode nine, "Baelor." I dare not spoil the scene for any who might be unaware of its content, but suffice to say, it ranks among the most artfully staged, beautifully realized, emotionally devastating sequences in any show, period. The writers and performers take classic archetypes and breathe new life into them, allowing the characters to become so much more than mere "Imps" or "Bastards." While many fantasy stories rely heavily on the concept of good versus evil, in Westeros there are no true heroes or villains, keeping the various conflicts cast in a morally ambiguous cloud of grey. As Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled, "rightful" heir to the Iron Throne, Emilia Clarke is spectacular. Her character starts out as nothing more than a submissive victim, but throughout the course of the season she slowly finds inner strength, and the actress does an amazing job of imbuing her transformation with equal parts grace and power. Emmy winner, Peter Dinklage, is also a scene stealer as the Queen's dwarf brother, Tyrion Lannister. Despite his family's despicable actions, his character always remains likeable, and Dinklage plays the role with wit, charm and insightful wisdom. The show is also home to an exceptional troupe of child actors, with Maisie Williams serving as a real standout. The young actress plays fan favorite, Arya Stark, Ned's youngest daughter, and her tomboy character is among the show's most entertaining and fun to watch. Honestly, I could go on and on extolling the great merits of every single cast member, which is a true testament to the level of skill on display here. There really is no weak link in the entire bunch.

Starring: Peter Dinklage , Lena Headey , Emilia Clarke , Kit Harington , Sophie Turner , Maisie Williams HBO has put together an extensive collection of informative supplements including some great Blu-ray exclusive special features.

Note that all of the video-based content is in 1080p HD: SEASON ONE: DISC ONEDuty is the Death of Love: GameofThronesmajor stars, including Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke, chat about the series finale, “The Iron Throne.”

Nevertheless, if the ending falls somewhat short of expectations, the journey to get there is thrilling. Game of Thrones isn’t afraid to throw you a surprise or two each season, sometimes several. This is a series where it feels like anything can happen… and that is a rare and wonderful thing indeed. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. If you don’t like fantasy, it’s the character drama that makes this series great. The heroes are deeply flawed. Most of the villains have a redeeming quality or two, or at least the odd empathetic moment. All of the characters are dimensional and complex. And over the course of the series, each grows and changes in unexpected ways. What’s more, this is very much an ensemble cast. Initially, the company includes Sean Bean ( The Lord of the Rings), Mark Addy ( The Full Monty), Lena Headey ( Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Emilia Clarke ( Solo), Kit Harington ( Spooks aka MI5), Peter Dinklage ( The Station Agent), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Nightwatch), Charles Dance ( Alien 3), and many more. New cast members are added each season, among them Gwendoline Christie ( Star Wars: The Force Awakens), Aidan Gillen ( The Wire), Jason Momoa ( Aquaman), Stephen Dillane ( John Adams), and Diana Rigg ( The Avengers). I am enchanted and engaged by the story line, and that, of course, is a separate matter altogether. I've tried to focus on the more "nuts-and-bolts" aspect of actually playing the disks. Just take your time with NAVIGATION through the menu startups and you should have no problems. What can I say about this series that hasn't already been said, probably nothing! Since I've just started watching it I can only comment on the overall picture quality and sound as being excellent. The extras if you watched them all would more than double your viewing time too.Next, as it often is with foreign-produced movie disks, some of the information on the box or the inserts may not be accurate! I'm not sure why this is so, but you'll probably notice it if you try to add minutes attributed to individual disks and then try to match those totals with what is written on the box or the inserts. Even the NUMBER of disks themselves, included in a season may be incorrectly stated. The IMPORTANT thing is to verify that each season is complete, if you have any questions -- but -- be careful in searching for verification information or you might SPOIL your viewing experience by finding out more about the plot than you really want to know! Character Profiles (HD, 31 min) - Fifteen video profiles detailing the show's sprawling cast of characters are included, viewable together or separately. Each profile features on set footage and a brief interview with the actor who plays the character as they discuss their role and place within the show. The color palette is quite bold in any lands of Westeros and it is revealed in each season that boasts both earthy tones and magical realms with everything in between to a tee. Season one, episode one of Game Of Thrones started in April of 2011, which was the same year that the first Thor film was released and Fast Five drifted onto the big screen. It was that long ago. The point is that some ten years ago, the video technology wasn't as advanced and clear as it is today so as each season progresses, the detail and the color get a bit better with of course season seven and eight being the stand-outs of the series.
