Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. The dominant families are the Houses Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen’s family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the throne. The friction between these clans, and with the remaining great Houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, and Tyrell, leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest North. Amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits… Written by Tfilm78 and Cajunman

My thoughts

Kings, queens, knights and renegades use schemes and swords to battle for the throne. This series kicks ass!

I watched this week by week and was so disappointed each and every time the show ended. This season was well written, directed and cast. The show takes place in a fantasyland similar to our medieval times. The series includes elements from everything possible: dragons, vertically challenge, fighting, family, politics, giants, love, family, friendship, betrayal, mystery, magic and anything else you can think of. If you have not started this series yet do yourself a favor and stop reading this post and borrow, download, stream, steal, pay or whatever you can do to see it.

Creators: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss should be so proud of what they accomplished. This is a show that will echo on for years to come. So what is this show about? 

“The series is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by author George R. R. Martin. The series takes place on the fictional continent of Westeros and chronicles the violent power struggles between the noble families as they fight for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.”
