20 Best Buy Game Of Thrones Season 2 (2023 Updated)

The Game of Thrones series had a great seven year run, only brought down by the fact that it ran for eight seasons. I was captivated by the story line and the characters through out the first seven seasons.

Season eight played like the writers were told this will be the last season and they were not ready for it. Do not let this stop you from enjoying the first seven seasons and use your imagination to fill in the gaps in season eight.

I’m assuming at this point you’re already familiar with the show, so my review is purely for the steelbook. It is gorgeous! Unfortunately the magnet is on the cheap side and wholly unnecessary (it would have been better if they’d embossed the case frankly) but still, if you love this show and want a nice case to show it off in this is the case for you.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that they haven’t made one for each season yet (only the first two). A beautiful addition to any steelbook collection.

Hands Down one of the, if not the, best shows on television today. Majestic in it’s scope and each character is beautifully portrayed. This set features all 10 episodes from Season 2 and is housed in a beautiful steelbook packaging that also comes with a magnet of the Lannister House Symbol.

Season 2 picks up right where 1 left off and takes the characters to darker places and stranger lands.

Bought this season just for episode 3 (The Long Night). I’m not a huge GoT fan but did watch the HBO showing of this episode and do remember the backlash of the near black handling and complaints of not being able to see what was going on.

Happy to report there’s no issue with the 4K disc. Black levels and shadow detail is excellent! Oh ATMOS track is great to!.

The first season really laid down the groundwork for an amazing series! A must-watch for all fans of politics, high-stakes drama, and fantasy. the acting is superb and the production quality is unmatched.

The bonus disk with extras is a great addition with backstories that will help you understand the history of this storyline.

Purchased season one for the great price of $9. 99. The major problem was that the Blu-ray case was damaged and the plastic that holds the cover was torn from the spine. Seemed like it had been returned to the manufacturer, who just repacked and shipped to Best Buy.

At first glance, the Blu-ray looked good in its’ outer sleeve, but it was deceiving. My advice is to open Blu-ray as soon as you get home and check that it is not broken. Luckily, the discs were unharmed and the digital copy worked.

The only reason I give it 3 stars is that season one of Game of Thrones is excellent.

Game of Thrones is without a doubt the best show on all of television, and this season enforces it. However, one of my favorite things about game of thrones was the high quality, beautiful box sets each season came in.

But for some reason, they decided to change it with season six. The slip cover on season six is flimsy and because of the way it is designed, is very weak. the set as a whole is a lot thinner than the other seasons, which i could understand them doing if it was season seven which is reported to have less episodes than the previous six.

But it isn’t, this season has the same amount of episodes as all that came before it, yet they decided to go cheapo on the packaging. With how much money they spend per episode you’d expect them to keep their box set quality consistant.

Inside, there is nowhere to put any of the inserted papers, they are just placed in there. And while the previous seasons come with cool things like maps, character charts, and at the very least a foldabld episode guide, season six just has the episodes printed on the inner packaging.

And my final problem, the dvds are stacked. All the other seasons have this cool fold out dvd case that gives each dvd its own “page”, but they stack them here, resulting in a thinner box set.

As a GOT fan without internet, I eagerly await the NEW season because that means the last season will be on sale soon. This year disks #2 & 4 had play problems. No flaws were visible on either disk. The story was as good as ever.

I hope this was an anomaly because if not it means a lack ofquality control at the manufacturing level. I hope this was a one off problem, however since the problem was common to two disks, it is a point of concern.

My DVD/BR purchases are divided and dictated by price and availability. With Amazon, to return an item is by the same method as its delivery (UPS). Exchanges with Best Buy require a return trip to the store of purchase.

I would rather buy from Best Buy-knowledgeable staff, good selection of items. But.

I love GOT, and own all the series on BluRay. This is the only set I have had any problems with as far as quality. Not sure if this a mistake in the original that they make DVD’s from, or it is only present on BestBuy’s version, but I bought the set and watched it.

On the last disc there was a “glitch” in the sound on a scene with Daenerys talking to Tyrion. I returned the set to BestBuy and exchanged it for another set. The packaging was slightly different, the on screen graphics for menus was different, the download voucher for downloading to your own library was not included, and to top it off.

the exact same “glitch” was present on the last disc??? Plan on exchanging it again to see if I can get one without the sound issue.

Great show. Excellent picture and amazing Atmos track. The packaging however, is awkward and clumsy. I bought this for the sole purpose of having GOT in Atmos. The sigil magnet doesn’t really stick very well and the discs are stacked on top of one another.

Three discs on one side, two on the other. There’s a digital copy code included. At the time of this purchase, this was the only way I could get season 3 in Atmos, but now there is a two pack with seasons 3 and 4 together with Atmos and much simpler packaging at a better price.

I’m sure they will be sold seperate soon enough. This is more of a collector’s item and it does look very handsome in its case, but I wouldn’t recommend this particular packaging for the casual fan. I’m recommending this product as a whole for being a good show with excellent picture and sound, but this particular version is best for collectors.

I love Got and everything about it. However these steelbooks have a outer plastic shell that holds a magnet and for whatever reason every season i have bought HAS BUSTED CORNERS OR CRACKS!. Its really terrible considering you’re paying a small fortune for something that is supposed to be collectible and they are all broken even if you return it they send you back an even more broken one! It simple amazing.

Game of Thrones itself is 10/10 5 stars this product is JUNK. 1/5.

I previously owned the Best Buy exclusive slipcover release of Season 3, but when they released Game of Thrones as Steelbooks, I had to double dip! Sold off my slipcover version and now I have the first 3 seasons on Steelbook, and will get 4th when price drops, and others when they’re out.

This season of Game of Thrones was a big tipping point where a LOT of stuff went down, and I’m sure many newer fans started around the ending of this season. For fans, this release is just a ncie packaging, but if you have a nice home theater setup, it is the only way to get the Dolby Atmos mix of this show in these Steelbook discs.

The ending really sucked. It was built up as a really super final episode but lacked the vitality and superior story telling of the earlier issues. As this story moves along to the ending of the series it seems the writers lost interest and the acting showed it too.

Don’t buy it; instead you can just read about the ending.

Only 6 episodes for season 8, after only 7 for season 7 ; the rest have 10 episodes per season. This great series comes to an end in this final season. Action packed and an end to an epic series.

This review is solely on the shipping and packaging / construction / buying process. Great job Best Buy. The actual material (show) final season was very hard to watch.

The box set and artwork is the main attraction. The digital download and recent discount was a can’t miss opportunity. The digital download is only available on Vudu, which was disappointing. I have the majority of my digital downloads on Movies Anywhere and Apple, with <10 on Google Play and Vudu.

The way the discs are arranged inside the cases was disappointing. You’ve seen cases with multiple discs but they’re separated with a thin plastic tab that can hold 4 discs in one case, this doesn’t have that.

9 cases total, 8 black 4K cases, with 4 discs in seasons 1-6 stacked on top of each other, 2×2. Seasons 7-8 with three discs, 2 stacked and one alone, 9th case, bonus features, Blu-ray, with 3 discs separated with the plastic partition like the previous 8 cases should be.

In conclusion, the series, again is excellent, but the packaging, for the price, even though discounted, should be better than this. The digital download should be available on more platforms, but I’m sure it’s down to competing companies to applying these restrictions.

It’d be nice to know beforehand that the digital download is only available on Vudu. The series is well known (spoiler)………………. except for how it ended.

I’m incredibly disappointed with the quality of the packaging of the actual 4k discs themselves. Yes, the outer cover looks premium and expensive but when you open it open and realize that the individual season discs are just stacked on top of each other, it just looks cheap.

Okay fine, I can deal with that since I just want to rewatch it, but when I get a minute or so into the first episode, the show or rather the disc starts skipping and I lose about 2 minutes of the beginning that is impossible to watch and now I’m really upset because I spent a lot of money on this and it turns out my first disc is defective even after cleaning it.

So long story short, all the disc’s seem to have some manufacturing dust or light smudges on them since they’re stacked on top of each other and are not on separate plastic tabs which would have prevented this type of issue from happening.

So buyers beware, this box set may look great from the outside but from the inside, there’s a high likelihood that some of your discs may be defective. I ended up returning my box set for a full refund after explaining exactly what was wrong with it so at least that worked out in my favor since it was still within the return period.

Amazing collection of one of the best TV shows to ever be released. The video and sound quality are fantastic…with a caveat. If you buy, make sure you inspect your discs. The set I purchased had 3 discs with some pretty serious scratches in them.

I went to Best Buy to exchange the set. I decided to open it right at the service desk in case the new set had issues. Upon opening, season one, disc one, scratched! I didn’t need to go any further. The cashier was nice enough to let me swap out the discs that were damaged in my original set.

The factory where these are made must have some terrible quality control. Not good for such an expensive box set. It’s a great set. Just make sure you inspect your discs. Nothing would be worse than getting through 7 seasons of this and then having the discs freeze or skip due to scratches.

And then being stuck with broken merchandise!.

This is my favorite edition of Game of Thrones and its a great value if you catch it on sale. It’s the Dolby atmos edition which changes the game as far as surround sound. It also comes with digital downloads in edition to the discs.

Which is a steal! It’s a great addition to my Game of Thrones collection!.

The show was amazing but this tin steelbook set is not as good as i was expecting. The case was slightyly damaged in either shipping or stocking and the magnet it comes with is horrible. It does not stick and even when it does for a split second it makes opening the steel case a pain.

My recommendation is to just save money and get the normal version of this season.

Great season – one of the best out there. The magnet that came with the collection is also great. I recommend this show to anyone who hasn’t seen it. The shipping on the item was also fast and efficient – arrived right on time for Christmas.

Looking forward to completing the collection soon!.

Not for the faint of heart, the Game of Thrones saga continues to impress. What Peter Jackson did for Tolkein the Benioff & Weiss duo have done for Martin’s amazing books. Simply better every season, which is saying something since Season 1 was already amazing.

HBO deserves credit too with their best work prior to this being the mini-series “Rome”. I thought that would never be topped. I was wrong. My one minor suggestion is that the blooper reel is pretty brief on disc 5.

Surely with this much action and these many actors, there must be more that’s not shown. The quality of the humor is there in the brief bloopers, but I bet there’s a lot more not on the dvd, which I’d love to see.

I especially liked the post-mortem interviews with all the characters that died in season 4. Look like really good people make up this cast that you sense you’d enjoy their personalities in the “real” world too.

Very disappointed. I purchased season 3 and 4. I am not a binge watcher and I like to relax and catch an episode or two a week. I got to disc 4 of the fourth season and the disc is unreadable and defective.

I tried to exchange for a functional disc because I would like to finish the season. Salesgirl said there was nothing she could do because I was 15 days past the exchange date. In essence, I was told sorry about your luck.

I am pretty aggravated, I spend thousands of dollars in Best Biy snd I get treated like I am a criminal. She told me that I could buy a new set to see the missing episodes. Not at all what I would expect in the way of customer service from Best Buy.

Amazing job of creating fully fleshed out civilizations that never existed, very much on the order of J. R. R. Tolkien, but with a lot more edginess. Draws heavily on the style of history of ancient England and Medieval Europe with it’s own mythology intertwined.

It is truly a drama noir with absolute villains. quasi-villains. and quasi-heroes – all with an agenda. Very good at sucking you into the stories of individual characters (especially, near and at season ender episodes).

Whether, they are characters that you “hate to love,” or “love to hate,” you’ll become addicted to finding out what happens next. The next season can’t come soon enough.

I was glad that I found a brand new set of the two seasons for a good price. Once it arrived and I opened the package, I knew something was wrong. There was something rattling, the sleeve was worn even shrink wrapped, the DVD cases work slightly worn too but it could have came from sitting.

Two disks weren’t in place, all of them had scratches. Hopefully I’ll be able to provide a better review if the disks are replaced.

I just love it. The story is interesting, tgs characters are fascinating and Tyrion Lannister is amazing at his trial – and thoroughout the series. Tywin Lannister, Cersei, Daneryas, and Arya are great characters also.

Amazing story and very detailed regarding the different kingdoms.

Even though it doesn’t say refurbished/pre-owned in the title (like most other refurbished items that I have seen) this item appears to be refurbished. The cases were damaged and I was lucky enough to get two seasons of season 3 (in the box set) instead of season 3.

Game of Thrones is a well-acted show with great sets, great costumes, great visual effects and interesting storylines with unexpected plot twists. Based upon George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of books, it is, without a doubt, for mature audiences.

I haven’t read the books so I cannot say how strictly the show adheres to the book. I have heard, however, that it is a near-faithful adaptation. Despite all of the accolades that the show has received, there are some issues which may make viewers who have never seen the show think twice before purchasing this season three set.

First, there is a lot of graphic violence. While the setting of the show, a mythical land of kings and knights, dragons and dark forces, would seem to indicate that a certain level of violence is to be expected, some of it may be too intense for certain audiences.

Second, there is an abundance of graphic interpersonal situations and full frontal nudity, both male and female, though more female. Third, there is a lot of vulgar language. For me, this is the biggest problem with the show.

It’s not that I have a problem with occasional foul language, it’s that the words seem too modern for the era in which the show is seemingly set. Every time one is used, it pulls me out of that fantasy world.

It breaks my “willing suspension of disbelief”. Perhaps it’s just me, but if they had created words, like Battlestar Galactica’s FRAK or Farscape’s FRELL, then I might not get that jarring feeling. Who knows.

Finally, my biggest gripe is not with the show itself, but rather with the box set of the season. The season consists of 10 episodes and there are 5 discs in the set. There are only TWO episodes per disc which means that you have to get up and change the disc EVERY TWO EPISODES.

This is NOT conducive to binge watching. Sure, there are extras on each disc. There are character profiles and behind the scenes documentaries. Still, this could have easily been a three disc set (5 episodes on disc one, 5 episodes on disc two and all extras on disc three) but I feel that the 5 disc format is used so that studios could charge more money for the box set.

With that in mind, I advise waiting until it goes on sale for less than $10. All in all, I’d say that if you enjoy the fantasy genre and don’t mind some adult situations, then Game of Thrones – Season Three might just be worth checking out.

Absolutely LOVE this show and cast. It’s a great series about several medieval families and their battles over time. Did I mention the dragons? And a surprising bit of horror for those who enjoy a little terror.

Also, Best Buy always has a great variety of movies and tends to have what I’m looking for in store rather and old classic, a new release, or tv series. I’m very happy with my purchase and have even hooked my neighbors on this show.

Of course I advised them to go to Best Buy for immediate access rather than ordering it online (ok, so I was VERY excited lol). #HOUSESTARK.

Purchased the whole set for great deal , however quite haven’t finished the whole series. Barely got through the first couple of episodes. Starts out really slow. I still need to go through the whole series to determine the final review.

Let’s just be honest about this series. HBO had just ended their most successful series of all time (The Sopranos) and they needed something new and fresh, when the writers came up with the idea of making this fictional, fantasy-based series.

At the time, HBO was just hoping for the best. What they did, was come up with their 2nd best series (my humble opinion) of all time, The Game of Thrones. I understand that quite a few people were completely unhappy with the ending, however, if anyone out there remembers the finale of The Sopranos, that caused just as much controversy, if not more so, than this one did.

Keeping that in mind, I loved this series as a whole and was sorry to see it leave the air. In time, everyone, who was invested in The Game of Thrones, will no doubt, remember everything that was great about it over the course of 8 years and won’t dwell on just what happened at the end.

Do yourselves a favor and buy this blu-ray to complete your collection. If you don’t, you will be sorry!.

First, I’m not trashing this season for it’s acting, because they had to work with what they were given. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed GoT until now. Season 8 started well enough, and was looking good through the white walker battle, but then something went horribly wrong.

It seems like all the writers suddenly quit, then they hired a bunch of recent college writing school graduates and told them to finish GoT in a hurry. It was a train wreck, especially the very last episode that had actors completely breaking character, making decisions that made no sense.

The last 15 mins was a total cringe fest. It was a total letdown. There have been so many bad internet reviews, with some calling for a re-do of season 8.

Overall the most awarded series in television history. Great performances from cast and the locations are fantastic and realistic fighting and warfare. Romance, sex, violence what else is going to get your attention ?.

The Game of Thrones was the biggest package that HBO ever deliveed and the quality of the episodes was at the top.

the only problem was the long hbo commercial on the first disc. everything else was perfect.

For a show that had such a captivating and successful first season, they had quite the task to match the accomplishment of Season 1. Safe to say they did just that! Of course if you remember how Season 1 ended, there’s no doubt you wanted to rush straight to Season 2 and see where the story takes you and the fate of certain characters.

And don’t even get me on Season 2’s final scene. Whoo, boy, no spoilers but it’ll send shivers.

I just can not get enough of these Game of Thrones programs. The HBO teams selected talented actors, wrote an amazing script, and production values are outstanding. Like

I’ve never seen the game of Thrones. For years I’ve seen or heard of it on media – but never seen it. Well, I’ve now watched the first season. It started off kind of slow, but you’ve got to get to know the characters and set a foundation for the series.

Based on all of this I’ll end up getting the rest of the series on Blu-ray but now I’ve got to get see how it all goes. Right?.

Season 6 of Game of Thrones marks the point where the show fully moved past the events of he currently published books and, as such, had a lot riding on its shoulders. For fans of the books, could the show succeed in continuing the narrative without the benefit of existing pages to flesh out the details and provide background? Would the long suspected twist of R + L = J be confirmed or proven wrong? With the season complete and available to re-watch, I think most people agree that the producers, cast, and crew hit this one out of the park.

From Hodor’s emotional big reveal, to Cercei’s desperate and explosive fight to save herself and her son, to the harrowing Battle of the (REDACTED), the season totally delivered on everything fans have come to love.

The only reason I give the season a 4 instead of a 5 has to do with the actual product as sold by Best Buy. Every year, since season 1, Best Buy has released the seasons with an optional slip cover depicting the sigil of one of the central houses of the show and I have enjoyed collecting a new house every year.

They’re really well designed and give my collection a little something extra. So it was somewhat heartbreaking to discover that Best Buy had abandoned the entire concept after 5 seasons, with no explanation.

Customers could purchase a steel book version for more money that matches re-releases of previous seasons, but for those of us hoping to one day have a personalized collection of all 8 seasons, each with a unique sigil, we’re just out of luck.

Instead, I’ll have to stare at a bizarre collection of one of my favorite TV shows that randomly converts from collector’s items to generic packaging more than half way through. It’s a shame.

Last season we left off with Jon Snow dead, Daenerys alone and captured by Dothraki while Mereen erupts in rebellion leaving Tyrion Lannister and Lord Varys barely holding on to power, Sansa Stark barely escaped the ever-more-powerful and crazed Ramsey Bolton at Winterfell, Cercei Lannister humiliated beyond belief on her walk of shame as the High Sparrow consolidates more and more power at King’s Landing, Bran is only accompanied by Hodor and another woman who’s name I can’t remember, and Arya Stark was reduced to a blind beggar.

This season, all that gets reversed. And I won’t tell you how. But it’s awesome! And it’s all character driven, there’s none of this poor writing style of “things-happened-because-the-writers-wanted-it-to-happen.

” The characters MAKE things happen. Oh, and there was this one shot of Kit Harrington facing a wall of charging horses and we all thought “Oh, nice CGI shot. ” Nope, it was really Kit Harrington facing 40 very real charging horses.

Amazing battle sequence in the 9th episode, if you haven’t figured out that, yet. Love to hate Ramsey Bolton. But you’ll have to watch the show on your own. Buy it. It was awesome on the Blue Ray. I’d recommend only to those who aren’t squeamish on the very adult themes and violence.

Season 6 of the fantasy series picks up right after the shocking events that closed the previous season. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) is taken prisoner by Khal Moro (Joe Naufahu), as Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) observes that her enemies are getting stronger.

The body of Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is taken to a safe place by the loyalists, in an effort to resist the mutineers. Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) becomes the only ruler in the North, while Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Theon (Alfie Allen) manage to escape through the woods thanks to Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie).

In Bravoos, Arya (Maisie Williams) is blind and living as a beggar, but doesn’t give up on her training with the Waif (Faye Marsay) and Jaqen H’ghar (Tom Wlaschiha); beyond the Wall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) continues his own training with the Three-Eyed Raven (Max von Sydow).

Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) join forces once again, vowing to seek revenge against all their enemies.

The presentation here is great, as it usually is with HBO shows, and for those who own all 7 previous seasons, it will probably be hard to pass up owning this one, even if you don’t like the ending. Yes, this season is troubled, to say the least, but for those who invested 8 years watching the lives (and sometimes deaths) of the Starks and other Westeros characters unfold, it will be hard not to want to see it through to the very end.

First, I have to say that the ending itself deserves reconsidering. The show became famous for thwarting expectations and killing off sacred characters, even as early as the first season, so it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker for true fans that the character you may have been rooting for didn’t end up on the Iron Throne (avoiding spoilers as much as possible here).

Game of Thrones has been serving up hard-to-swallow pills all along, and the last episode is probably no exception—but I hope fans won’t throw out the whole series if they’re dissatisfied (personally, I was not).

The biggest problem by far, and I don’t know how many would disagree, is that this season feels really, really rushed. When the series started, it was about 10 episodes per season, then it dropped in recent seasons down to 8—this one is only 6.

They add about 20 minutes to most episodes and expect it should make up the difference, but it really doesn’t. For 7 years, the series has crawled toward the finish line, then in the last season they choose to sprint.

It’s jarring, or it was for me. The invasion of the White Walkers that has taken up so much focus in the last two seasons, and has been threatened since the first, is concluded in three episodes here, and while I found that third episode (“The Long Night”) the peak of the season, it still feels like it’s suddenly finished.

Many people were irritated or even outraged by the character arc of Daenerys, and while I believed it, I can’t argue with anyone who felt betrayed. I think the show creators were hoping for surprise and instead they triggered fury.

It would have been better if the signals had been planted further back in the show’s history. But whether this last season ruined Game of Thrones for you or just left you a bit disappointed, that’s your decision.

Or maybe you’re one of those rare fans who liked how it all turned out—but I’m not putting money on that. I read all the available books and enjoyed the series from the first season, though it started to feel like the returns were diminishing around Season 5.

My guess is this is pretty similar to the ending George R. R. Martin planned, but it will be a long while before anyone can say for sure. I look forward to watching the whole series again at a future point and reevaluating Season 8.

I doubt I will change my mind about the flaws, but anyone who followed the adventures of Arya, Jon, Sansa, Daenerys, and Tyrion for years, there had to be some ending—even if it wasn’t what we hoped for.

The final season in the GOT saga. Let’s jump in; Pros; 1. Good quality audio and video, compared to the aired version that was criticized for being to dark, the Blu Ray version is just right 2. Lots of character plots and definitely a large amount of both physical and CGI work in the sets and FX.

3. Some surprises, i’ll let those be a surprise 4. Each disk has some bonus content, make of it what you will, some is great and brings more to the game, others bonus features, not so much, so a mixed bag of bonuses Cons; 1.

Short, with only 6 episodes it hardly qualifies as a “Season”, more like a mini-series 2. Really cheap packaging, unlike the previous seasons that typically came in nice boxes with covers and extras, and those weren’t even the limited edition ones, making the season 8 seem short, rushed, poorly presented and for any collector, a disappointment to the end of the collection.

3. I am guessing this is why they rolled out all these different $250-$350 dollar “Complete 8 season sets”, and to a huge collector like myself, i am growing tired of this, constant repackaging of series.

it brings to mind the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, were it seemed like every other year some “new” remastered version came out vying for your money, same goes for the Fast and Furious series, Terminator, Star Wars and a host of others.

I find this to be a despicable way of repacking the almost identical material and charging a premium price for it, so you may see a lot of season 1 thru 7 series collections or individual seasons pop up on ebay and other sites for those who want to get the newest complete 8 season set without having another particle set laying around taking up space, on a positive note, this gives people who dont want to spend a fortune a great way to get the series second hand, so a bit of a silver lining.

and with that, i say its worth getting regardless of being a collector or just someone that wants to SEE the last season.

“The Game of Thrones” is widely known as the most expensive television series of all time, and it looks it. The costumes, sets, art direction and set direction is almost breathtakingly detailed. Add to that the brilliant cast and the stirring writing, and GOT is a series that has never come close to being equaled.

I bought the eight seasons, one by one, as they would be released each year. I would watch them each year, but for the last two seasons, I would watch all of the preceding seasons before watching the current one.

It is an epic that is worth savoring.

I just love this Game of Thrones. Once I start watching I just keep going. After a couple of weeks/months, I start again because you always pick up on things you missed the first time around. I think I watched Season 1 about 4 times waiting for Season 2 so I figure I’ll probably watch Season 2 about 4 times as well, waiting for Season 3.

I believe there are 6 books so I hope they continue the series to cover all the books. This is an excellent production in all aspects, actors, costume, story, scenery. I love it!.

THE DVD’S 1-2 WERE FINE, HAD PROBLEMS WITH 3 AND 5 ENDED UP WASHING THEM IN SOAPY WATER AND DRYING THEM AS THEY HAD GREASY MARKS AND WOULD NOT PLAY, BUT DID AFTER THE WASH. THE SECOND SERIES WAS VERY GOOD, I HAVE NOW WATCHED ALL 7 SERIES AND AM AWAITING THE 8TH, I HAVE READ ALL SEVEN BOOKS TOO AND WAS DISAPPOINTED THEY HAD KILLED OFF CERTAIN CHARACTERS AND GIVEN DIFFERENT STORYLINES TO OTHERS, WHEN THEY ARE STILL ALIVE IN THE BOOKS, BUT AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS NEVER GOING TO PUBLISH (GRR MARTIN) HIS LAST TWO BOOKS, CAN’T HELP WONDERING IF THE SERIES HAS CHANGED THE ENDING OF THE WHOLE STORY TOO.

Bought this whole season as I will likely want to watch it over and over. Great price.

This season of Game of Thrones gets criticized rightfully for accelerated pacing — which was probably caused by two factors: 1) This is the first season totally without the net of any of George RR Martin’s novels or writing to rely upon; and 2) HBO cut the number of episodes, probably due to the epic show’s ever-escalating budget.

However, this is Game of Thrones and it’s still a great ride; it just requires a tad more suspension of belief than past seasons. (And that’s saying something in a show with dragons and a zombie army.

) On the technical side, presentation is fine — the extras aren’t anything to necessarily write home about, but the video and audio quality are excellent. I do recommend watching the extras with the histories of Westeros that are narrated by cast members.

Best show I ever saw on TV. This season is great. Buy all the dics and start watching. When season 8 ended I would have hated myself had I never watched the series. Your life will be a little better from knowing these characters and their stories.

Lovely work!.

It’s no secret that this season of GoT had some of the sloppiest writing in series history. Far too many leaps in logic (lightning fast ravens and Gendries) and unfulfilling/forced plot resolutions (like Jorah Mormont’s story or the Jon/Dany thing).

But I suspect with two years to write the final season, this won’t be an issue for Season 8. All that being said, the show’s still entertaining to watch: great visuals & CG, great sound & music, some nice dialogue.

It’s serviceable. Game of Thrones at its worst is still better than many things I’ve seen on TV.

Many concurrent stories set in different locales makes for a “let’s hurry before we’re interrupted” pace to the film-making. In season five the dragon queen character in weakened by inadequate writing.

The setting and new story for the youngest Stark girl seems overly contrived and poorly paced. The jeopardy faced by Queen mother Lannister seems likewise overwrought and ridiculously unlikely based on her previous astute and clever manipulations.

But overall the grand over-arching story marches on and may someday (season 9? season 17?) reach a climax. As always, I’m disappointed that a “season” is only ten episodes. The attention to visual details remains excellent and the acting (with a few exceptions – perhaps only the dragon mother among the major players) well directed and well done.

The story-writing/telling retains the undercurrent of tension that we’ve come to expect if not embrace. The DVD set I bought ten days ago on Ebay (well before the official USA release) has occasional pixel-blur and transitional stuttering – perhaps these discs suffer from black-market or grey market parentage.

It probably should be a requirement that GOT be watched on Blu-ray anyway – the effort put into creating this bar-raising grand-scale dauntless epic-adventure deserves to be noticed by viewing via the best platform available.

Game of Thrones has all the features of a classic adventure story, beautiful yet complex and powerful women, courageous yet flawed heroes, manipulative rulers, horrific monsters, and endearing children.

Set in a mythical land during the dark ages, three warring rulers plot to conquer each other and fulfill a longstanding prophecy, before winter covers everything, a winter that lasts for decades, and brings with it a murderous army of the undead.

Season 5 continues to follow the Stark children, now orphaned and set on separate adventures, the escape of dwarf prince Tyrion Lannister, and the trials of Queen Daenerys Targaryan, Mother of Dragons.

The pacing of these episodes is similar to the original book’s chapters, and there are moments of glorious action, as well as long periods of slow character development. While many will make comparisons with the Lord of the Rings collection of films, where Game of Thrones offers much less magic, and grandiose action, it makes up in erotic scenes, twisted plots, and deeply developed, fascinating characters.

Having read all the books twice, I am most impressed with actors Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cercei Lannister), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), and John Bradley (Samwell Tarly).

Although all of the cast offer fine, credible performances, these actors have completely embodied their characters the way the author intended them to be, no small feat.

I have purchased every season of The Game of Thrones because I Love 2 watch and listen to the commentaries that come with each episode and also the other special features that are on the 5th dvd. With season 5 I tried something different, I didn’t watch during the time it was being released weekly I waited the whole year until it came out on March 15th “The Ides of March” , thinking I will only have 2 wait a month before I can resume viewing The Game of Thrones Madness, so I watched it in one sitting staying up all night and finishing around 630 am.

I was Traumatized. Season 5 gave me drama after drama and it was like what other bad thing could happen 2 each character, with only a few uplifting paybacks, however I still can’t get enough. This season I will try watching weekly again so I can take in the Carrying On events in smaller doses.

I have found that by watching the series again in smaller amounts I have calmed the initial shock my system received and been able 2 accept the horrific events season 5 put up in my face. I will always purchase The Games of Thrones dvd sets because I learn much from the commentaries and that gets me deeper involved in the hype of the series.

When I buy I buy at Best Buy because they are always so helpful, answer all of my many questions and are super convenient. Thank U Best Buy!!! Stanley Love.

This copy of Season Seven was a total disappointment. 80% of it was too dark to see anything of what was happening. I even turned off all the lights in the room so I could view as much as possible.

Love the show….. Very addicting show to get into. Do not recommend children to watch it. Must watch this show

another game of thrones series that was excellent to watch I have all of them best series movie I’ve seen I got hooked after season 1 and never looked back everybody should own all 8 seasons you won’t be disappointed.

Long time ago, several co-workers were talking about GOT, but I did not pay too much attention to the hype. Fast forward to 2022, and I decided to buy the GOT complete series. Wow, GOT was terrific. I was so impressed with the storyline and all the characters.

I watched this series on TV and I loved it. It was great watching it again on Blu-ray. Thanks Again

The quality of the picture is great along with the sound. It’s been great watching the series again!
