Kalte Winde kündigen Unheimliches an und der Krieg hält Einzug auf dem Kontinent Westeros - es ist sicher: Der Winter naht! Der Kampf um die Macht bei „Game Of Thrones" beginnt! Die spannende Fantasy-Serie „Game Of Thrones" überzeugt Zuschauer und Kritiker gleichermaßen und zieht selbst Fantasy-Neulinge in ihren Bann. Von Anfang an wird der Zuschauer bei „Game Of Thrones - Das Lied von Eis und Feuer" in ein faszinierendes Netz aus charismatischen Figuren wie z.B. Daenerys Targaryen (gespielt von Emilia Clarke) und komplexen Beziehungen hineingezogen, das ihn bis zum Ende gefesselt hält. (RTL II)

Ohne beleidigen zu wollen, jedoch dieses Darbieten eines etwas anderen und rauen Phantasyfilms wird hier meistens damit abgewimmelt, dass unter allen möglichen Klischees, sowohl im Bezug zur Regie als auch der Geschichte, hier viel Geschlechtsverkehr von hinten abläuft, geschimpft wird und hin und wieder jemand dahinuriniert. Ansonsten wird in den ersten beiden Teilen viel geredet, ohne dass dies jedoch bei einer Person, die mit dem Original nicht vertraut ist, ein besonderes Interesse an der Mythologie der fiktiven Welt erwecken würde (bei einem Phantasyfilm ist gerade das aber ein doch recht großer Problem). Die Charaktere sind nett, einige sogar regelrecht großartig (besonders der dekadente Zwerg Tyrion), jedoch irgendwie habe ich mich im Laufe der Zeit dabei erwischt, dass es mir egal war, was mit ihnen demnächst passieren würde. Ich vermisse diese ausgesprochen eingeweidenzerreißenden und bezaubernden Szenen, etwas, was diese Serie jenseits von Ausscheidung und Verkehr unterscheiden würde. Ich bin nicht in der Stimmung, mir die nächste Folge reinzuziehen - ein ziemliches Durcheinander für die HBO-Serie.

The War of the Roses and goings-on on the Apennine Peninsula under the Borgias in fantasy garb in the shape of a saga for which the label “fantasy" is too restrictive, even if it didn’t seem so to begin with. Nobody with spiky ears, no dwarves, orcs or similar critters. But we do get numerous living, non black-and-white characters (primarily Claudio... um Tyrion, who is head and shoulders above the rest) and politicians. Tons and tons of politics and tons and tons of intrigues, plotting and scheming and, somewhere in the background and sort of “by the way", epic battles that are more spoken about than taken part in; and it is no mistake that the best passages in the book are the “purges" à la Tyrion’s chapter four of “Clash of Kings". That applies to the book. Look for the bearer of the torch lit by Waltari and Graves rather than a variation on Lord of the Rings or the current unending list of generic sagas. That’s why it’s good that HBO took this under its wing, because this IS (and will be) like their Rome with a fantasy backdrop. Simply an adaptation in the form of a series which, despite not matching the image formed inside my head over many years (it isn’t made for fans of the books, but mainly for viewers without an opinion and so mainly it should be able to stand alone by itself as a series in itself; which HBO is managing so far), I find thrilling because the creators avoided following the books religiously and are not afraid of cutting to the quick, even though sometimes it’s a little too hurried and they don’t let some situations sink in properly. They often use theatrical approaches instead of regular cinema language (that only comes with the arrival of Alan Taylor and season two). Which certainly is not a criticism, just an observation. And this is a typical HBO series in the way that separate episodes don’t work too well alone, but only as part of a whole. A prime example is the finale of season one and the opening episode of season two. In each there are so many storylines that each gets their “minute under the spotlight", but there is so much of it that the result is disjointed, with a little bit of everything, which ends up being a little bit of nothing. But if you take them as part of the whole, everything suddenly seems right because, as we know, HBO simply doesn’t work in terms of seasons. For them, the start of a new season is “just" another chapter of one story; and you can tell apart separate seasons only on the basis of their constantly growing (and already high) production value. Although the creators like do it their way (from season two on I would describe it as loosely inspired by “Game of Thrones", rather than an adaptation of “Game of Thrones"), in spirit they remain faithful to the book. And what does being faithful to the book mean in the case of Game of Thrones? This doesn’t mean sticking at all costs to the wealth of stories and twists; these are not so important, can be changed, shortened, combined etc., but being faithful to the characters. The creators often follow different routes than the book’s author, but they follow them to the same destination. Which, in view of their exceptional qualities, characterization and development, I think speaks for itself. | S1: 5/5 | S2: 4/5 | S3: 4/5 | S4: 5/5 | S5: 4/5 | S6: 4/5 | S7: 4/5 | S8: 3/5 |

The first season was a struggle. There’s so much empty dialogue, scheming that goes nowhere and raw fucking that it makes you tired. But as the episodes and seasons progress, you begin to marvel at the thoughtful interconnectedness of the individual fates, how everything fits together with surgical precision, how G.R.R. Martin, or rather the showrunners, are not afraid to shock and allow themselves the least predictable (and yet logical) twists that make your jaw drop, your back shiver, and all you can do is utter an involuntary "Bugger me!". The manner in which the fates of Arya, Sansa, Tyrion (and I could go on) unfold in the least predictable ways brings joy to the hearts of viewers who enjoy rich stories. A real viewer's delight that builds to a fantastic fourth season, and I really have no idea what they're going to top it with in the upcoming one. And the fact that the series has an unprecedented, by TV standards, large-scale set design, sets and atmosphere, where every thoughtfully invested dollar of the generous budget is evident, only confirms the quality of this exceptional achievement.

Without the need to vomit out a commentary full of either glorification or dirt after the first episode, I watched this third season of Rome in peace and quiet. True, the sunny amphitheaters have been replaced by the cool atmosphere of massive castles, but the characters remain. The beautifully ambiguous, non-black and white, well-detailed, and superbly acted characters, once again reinforce the belief that even when guns are blazing in a series (film), there may not necessarily be a battle because there are always enough grey eminences, schemers, and related coincidences that can shift the plot in a different way than we expect. If there is anything not worth praising, it is the direction of the last two episodes because the first one lacks proper gradation and the final one lacks a stronger epilogue resonance. When it's no longer in fashion at the library to take out Martin's books and there’s no queue for them at the bookstore, I'll drop by. I’m really intrigued by this world. [PS: My personal sympathies go out to Ser Jorah and Arya Stark, and now that list also includes Tyrion Lannister since the beginning of the second season.]

I caught up on my absolute biggest series and film rest and although I wasn't at all sure for the first two seasons whether the fame of Game of Thrones was warranted, the remaining three seasons have convinced me otherwise. Admittedly, I was expecting a lot more sex, blood, action and the characters more or less start to rapidly diminish only in season 4. There are some deaf passages, but in the end as a whole it works solidly. Khaleesi is the best and the storyline around her kept me interested the most, Tyrion is solid and John Snow is pretty much likeable even though his story has been ramping up for four series. Of the supporting characters, I also liked Margaery and Varys. The best season is 4 and 5, then 3, 2, 1.
