Game of Thrones features an intricate plot with complex characters, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences, especially its numerous battles and fights. It’s hard to deny that it wasn’t a cultural phenomenon that captivated me and many others throughout its eight seasons.

I gave Game of Thrones a nine out of ten for its well-written, multi-layered narrative and fantastic production value

However, while it still has stunning visuals and extremely high production value, like many fans, I was disappointed and somewhat frustrated with the narrative of the final season and how certain plot points were handled, which dropped my rating from a ten to a nine. Despite this, Game of Thrones remains a must-watch series for me and I still highly recommend it to any fan of the fantasy genre or drama in general.
