Must watch!
Wasn't sure at first but then totally binge watched the whole thing ๐. Couldn't watch just one. I agree the ending is a little disappointing but I think they left it where they did so they could add more latter. You can bet, if there's more, I'll watch them. Great set design. Great writing. Great actors.

Splendid visuals, but as always you can pick holes in the production here and there.
More visually stunning than ever, though if you look carefully at some composite "scenes" you can see where the real world ends and CGI begins (boats leaving white-water wakes are a giveaway...filmed on a pond no doubt, the sea filled in later). Continuing its making-it-up-as-we-go-along theme, the intrepid heroes are shuffled around once more with their liquid allegiances, very soon they'll run out of people who can be pitted against certain other people. The Dragon effects are top notch though very brief, for a series that seems to imply dragons in a lot of its promotional advertising. When the view flits back to the face of the person watching the dragons so much, you know it's down to budget, not the cinematographer's ideal choice.One day those dragons might actually do something, other than grow alarmingly quickly compared to every other cast member. Ha Ha, found its weakness -- it can't quite gets its time-lines synchronized. Just how long has Arya been on the run? Weeks, months -- 5 years? Or does time in Easteros run a lot more quickly than in Westeros?Finally they've got a handle on all that unpleasant nudity; whereas before it seemed very gratuitous, now it more smoothly flows with the dictates of the "indoor" scene. In other words, body parts aren't just thrown in your face for shock value.

Not the Boxset version.
This version is the standard Blu-ray case but with a nice decorative card sleeve.

Long may "Game Of Thrones" reign.
Well what can I say? I'm not going to go into great detail about season five of game of thrones(don't want to give anything away for the avid fans out there),but what I will say is this; "GAME OF THRONES" is truly the best TV program made in the last five years or so.This program just keeps you guessing about what happends next(unless your like me and have read the books up to book six, "A Dance With Dragons 2: After The Feast) There are a few minor alterations from the books,but not enough to make this TV version of George R.R. Martins books as any bit less exciting as the books..A word of advice would be to read all the books also(if you've not done so already) so it gives you a good grasp os all the excellent storylines,which in my opinion are some of the best I've ever seen.If you've never watched this superb TV series,then I would advice you do so from the very beginning(season1) to fully understand all the different storylines hitherto.So if your looking for something new to watch that will captivate your mind,body and soul then give this truly remarkable piece of work a look you won't be disappointed.I hope anybody who reads this review(kind of) will find it helpful.
