Decisions are logical and one doesn't like any character any less when a decision is not the right one because mistakes are acknowledged and learnt from. These characters are not hero and villain archetypes (Joffrey is the only one close to that, the difference though is that he is an extremely interesting one with a lot of development who ranks well beyond one hundred percent on the threat level scale), they have much more to them and have strengths and flaws. 'Game of Thrones' has characters that are so well developed and as close to real life as one can get despite being in a fantasy world. Characters are a huge part of the appeal too. They're not overlong, nor are there out of place elements. Not only are the set-pieces done with a lot epic scale, superb staging, excitement and dramatic tension but underneath all the scale and flashy attention to detail there is a lot of heart and a multi-layered one. Whenever there's a set-piece or more action-oriented scene there's always a reason, never there for the sake of it. The story-lines are paced so beautifully, structured with such nuance and attention to coherence, a high emotional level and touch upon complex and sensitive themes with intelligence and tact. It always has a natural flow, is layered and thought-provoking and demonstrates a wide range of emotions such as suspenseful tension, poignant pathos and witty humour. It is hard not to be bowled over by the quality of the writing, outstanding isn't a strong enough adjective to describe how good the writing is. Again, worthy of a high-budget fantasy/action/drama film. One cannot talk about 'Game of Thrones' without mentioning the thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically multi-layered music scoring and the unforgettable main theme. As well the cinematography and editing, which are cinematic quality as well. Then there are the special effects that are some of the best of any television programme and are not overused or abused, the scale, the detail and how they actually have character and soul are better than those in a lot of the big-budget blockbusters. The scenery is throughout spectacular, the sets are hugely atmospheric and beautiful on the eyes with a real meticulous eye for detail and the costumes suit the characters to a tee. Visually, 'Game of Thrones' looks amazing. This is one of the strongest examples of an acclaimed show that deserves every ounce of the praise it's garnered. A television show so brilliant that one has to actually check that it was made for television when everything is done to such a high level that it puts many films made today to shame. Not only is it a rare television show that does its original source material justice and treats it with respect but it is on its own merits one of the finest, most addictive and consistently compelling shows in recent years.
