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

The Game of thrones is brilliant series all episodes are exciting to watch. You watch an episode you will want to watch the next one to see what happens next. It is a fantasy series dragons and people in battle not for the faint hearted strong bloody violence, and an army of the dead to contend with. The series is for adults to watch. I enjoyed the series brilliant. Value for money pleased with the purchase.

Everything has already been said about this show. It’s iconic, violent, sexy and an amazing sprawling epic story spanning countless characters and locations. Did the story go off the rails a bit after season 6, perhaps but still thoroughly enjoyable even if a little dumb especially moments in Season 7.

Story aside then I am slightly disappointed, in upgrading from Blu-ray to 4K, I am actually getting an inferior product in terms of the special features. The Blu-ray discs had an, in-episode guide feature where, during the episode, you would get a prompt, for example when a new character appeared, and you could click on the prompt to learn a little about their background and their family history, in the middle of the episode. It’s missing from the 4K version which is pretty poor in my opinion.

I’ll still give it 5 stars for the quality of the show but a shame they didn’t take the time to include everything that was on the Blu-ray Discs.

Product game in perfect condition, on time. Picture quality is incredible, making an already beautiful show even more breathtaking to look at.

Simply an outstanding series. The last season isn’t even that bad despite the hysteria. It just didn’t match up to the preceding ones – but it’s still better than most other shows peak seasons

I watched them all on the original TV run and I’m a huge fan. Read the books etc.

You all know what Game Of Thrones is and it’s still better than anything on TV since and now.

The visuals are crisp and stunning in 4K HDR.

The writing does get worse as they run out of material from the books but again it’s still better than almost anything else on TV. But the earlier series are certainly the best.

The ending is in my opinion is still good. I didn’t want a happy ending and the destruction wrought seems on point. But it is rushed for no apparent reason. The amount wrapped up in the final series seems odd when no one would have complained about another.

brilliant story, brilliant characters, excellently acted with tremendous performances from all the principal and supporting actors even down to some of the very minor roles. People have criticised how it concludes, but I suspect most of that was about it finishing rather than considering that there was a significantly better storyline. The end comes a bit quickly especially compared to the time that is taken setting the whole scene across the first six seasons. However, I suspect had it been done with more intrigue and extended further than people would have been complaining that it had become contrived.

Around 8 years in the making George R.R. Martin’s ‘SONG OF ICE AND
FIRE’ became one of the most followed made for TV spectacles ever screened.
A compelling epic which overall would take some three-days of continuous viewing to
watch is for myself probably and there have been many a great series, this in my
favourite view.
If you last followed the series over 8 years like myself, you’ll remember some significant
moments overall watch again it will be as fresh and exciting as it was first time around.
The 4K boxset contains 33 discs, other than the 3 extra’s discs (Blu-ray) all are in 4K
only……The 4K visually is outstanding, the many, many special-effects benefiting greatly.
Adapted from the book-series entitled A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE by George R.R Martin
though in truth the final book had not yet been written, I do suspect the producers of
the epic probably expected it to be when they set out.
The final series came in for much criticism from many, overall it was indeed quite a
spectacle to watch. (am sure when and if George R.R.Martin does complete it willbe
very different)
A story of treachery, violence and deception coupled with scenes of a sexual nature
with nudity and indeed much strong language, coupled with many well staged battle
sequences.
The story is told from many angles which eventually come together.
From the outset a hint of the threat from ‘White-Walkers’ is evident which will increase
and intensify as the series builds.
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’)
And from Kings Landing in the South we follow in the main the fortunes of the Lannister’s
the outsider of the family, but probably the one with a brain Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) the calculating and tyrannical Cersei (Lena Headey) and king-slayer yet honourable Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
And from over the sea (Daenerys Targaryen (Emillia Clarke) mother-of-dragons who is determined to retake what had been stolen from her family Westeros and the seven kingdoms.
There are indeed dozens of key characters followed also worthy of a mention of course.
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 ?
A superior series worthy of a 4k investment to re-view or indeed watch for the first time.
Footnote – Fist time of viewing took over 8 years, this time around 15 days of intense viewing.

Brilliant set, nicely present and compact. The Blu rays thereselves are brilliant. I watched them the first time around on TV and rewatching them now and the quality of them is amazing! I am enjoying every minute of every episode and the quality of definition is amazing and would highly recommend getting this set for any GOT fan. It was worth every penny.

Game of thrones complete series on blu ray. Enough said this is one of the greatest TV series ever made even if the ending wasnt what people wanted.
In fact the series has many endings all the way through it and Im waiting a while until I binge watch it all again.

All game of thrones in one package what’s more to like

The series itself is fantastic, at least as far as to series 3 episode 8! – We had to discontinue watching and request a replacement as the previous boxset had disc errors from series 3, disc 5, episodes 9/10 and there after.
My experience of Amazon has always been that of no issue with a replacement/exchange but on this occasion it was unfortunate that the exact boxset we first ordered 1-7 was not available and therefore had to replace with boxset 1-8 and therefore had to pay an extra 16 ( which seems unfair as we already have a copy of series 8 available to us).

This replacement arrived late yesterday and I was not pleased to find that the cases are cracked and broken -I had seen the reviews that warned of this but accidents can and do happen was my thinking, it is indeed strange that Amazons packaging was adequate and that as these are shrink wrapped, I fail to see of any way other than at manufacturer stage- could they end up in such a state.

After having much trouble with disc errors with Marvel Phase 1 boxset ( 3 replacements and always same errors or worse always within Iron Man 2) we gave up and in the end settled for a refund.

If disc errors are on this boxset then we will return it and not exchange for another (will purchase as a download or even checkout the likes of CEX) as it is ridiculous but if there are no errors on the discs we will keep despite the broken cases/packs.

My main reason for this purchase was to improve my foreign languages, and it’s absolutely brilliant for this purpose. It’s the French and German that interest me, but all the episodes are also in Spanish and Italian. What an entertaining way to improve ones foreign language ability.

yes its a little expensive and yes you can find it on most streaming sites but the sheer amount of quality and entertainment included is immense. its almost inevitable that you will need to watch it all more than once (at least) and to have it available when you feel the need is a bonus, it is probably in a niche but of a far better standard than any others of the same ilk
