Main Title (Unlisted) Written and performed by Ramin Djawadi. Let’s say you’re reading these reviews and haven’t watched GoT yet, but now that it’s over, you’re thinking about a marathon. In this case, the consensus is correct, namely: Seasons 1-6: excellent. Deep world building, intelligent dialogue, epic Hollywood-worthy backdrops, professional acting, detailed plot, real surprises, great soundtrack used sparingly. GoT is definitely worth watching these seasons.
Season 7: You’ll suddenly notice that the quality of the writing and drawing has dropped. There are inexplicable thoughts, inconsistent characterization, and soap opera drama. But at least the entertainment value is still very high, so it’s over. The writing is so amateurish that the still fantastic production values aren’t enough to save it. If you ever liked Lost but were surprised by how bad the last season was, you’re on familiar territory.
The biggest problem with the last season was that it took us out of the story and made us think about its many weaknesses. We lost our suspension of disbelief. It also ruined the show’s arcs to the point where rewatching the entire series is pointless. So, can I recommend a GoT marathon for beginners? Yes, the first 6 seasons are worth the later disappointments.
It may have been, but dropping the ball in the final stretch puts it behind the next top series that are more worthy of your marathon: Battlestar Galactica (2003-2008) Twin Peaks (all 3 seasons plus the movie) Breaking Bad
