Product Description
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play.
Season 1: Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men...all will play the 'Game of Thrones.' A new original series based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.
Season 2: The Battle continues in Westeros with feuding families and power hungry rulers. Five Kings vie for a single, all-powerful throne in the all-new season of Game of Thrones - an epic story of duplicity and treachery, nobility and honour, conquest and triumph. Season 2 plays out against the backdrop of a fast-approaching winter. In King's Landing, the coveted Iron Throne is occupied by cruel young Joffrey, counseled by his conniving mother Cersei and uncle Tyrion. But the Lannister hold on the Throne is under assault on many fronts. There's Robb Stark, son of the slain Lord of Winterfell, Ned Stark; Daenerys Targaryen, who looks to shore up her depleted power through three newborn dragons; Stannis Baratheon, eldest brother of the late King Robert; and Stannis' brother Renly, who has maintained his own claim since fleeing King's Landing. In the meantime, a new leader is rising among the wildlings North of the Wall, adding new perils for Jon Snow and the Night's Watch. With tensions and treaties, animosity and alliances, Season 2 of Game of Thrones promises to be a thrilling journey through a riveting, unforgettable landscape.
Season 3: In Season 3, family and loyalty will be the overarching themes, and many critic

If you are looking at this product you probably don't need me to sell you the series itself, you likely know how engrossing and how brilliantly put together it is. Why then should you buy this box set instead of watching or re-watching the series on a catch-up service?
The extras are why. All three series have some incredibly interesting and entertaining audio commentaries that accompany the episodes. Some are really informative, with the director or writers giving insights into how particular things were done, where, when and why. Each series George R.R. Martin commentates the episode that he specifically wrote, and this is especially interesting for those who have not read the books as he points out some of the differences in characters, or settings, or slight plot changes. Some of them that feature the actors have less (although still a reasonable amount) of insight into the filming process, however they are fun and entertaining and allow the watcher to learn a bit about the actors behind the characters and what may be involved with their daily lives on and off the shoot. Unfortunately there are usually about two or three episodes a season without commentary, however in seasons two and three some of them have two. This is a bit disappointing as I re-watch the series and want to have a commentary an episode as I do so and not have to watch episodes twice in succession, but is not a major issue.
'The Making Of' documentaries are also insightful and as a filmmaker myself they are inspirational in giving me ideas for ways of shooting things. Read more ›

Right from the first episode, you are drawn into the magnificence of Kings, Queens, lovers, haters, mythical beasts and the legendary storytelling that is A Game of Thrones. The twists and turns of the lives of the characters have you hooked from the start.....and it never lets you go! If you are at all squeamish this may not be your cup of tea....and there is plenty of colourful language and nudity. Having said that, none of it is gratuitous - in this viewer's humble opinion.
I would recommend this to everyone who is not easily shocked.

I'm by no means an expert on critiquing or reviewing tv as i'm more of a music man. I also don't like seeing premature reviews just for the sake of it, but I felt I simply had to strike while the iron was hot whilst i'm at my most enthusiastic about Game of Thrones. Or as original long-term fans would dub it, A Song of Ice and Fire.
Having watched all three seasons multiple times and devoured the five volumes of books, I can honestly admit that this medieval period masterpiece has got me well and truly hooked. Literally not a day goes by when I don't think or talk about a certain set-piece, line of dialogue or a flippant action of one of it's many masterfully written characters, my work colleagues are no different.
Over these three seasons you'll be taken on an exciting yet convoluted journey, while your emotions will be toyed with left right and center. This show is an adaptation of the George RR Martin book series, 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' and what a tremendous effort it does in staying faithful to the source material. *Mild Spoiler Alert - Everything you've become accustomed to over your whole lifetime of watching tv? Best pretend that didn't exist as this bastard keeps you guessing every step of the way. In my opinion 'Game of Thrones' is a real game changer in the way we judge characters, feel about characters and flat out what we've come to expect after a lifetime of watching tv. 'Rules'... this show just doesn't abide by them.
It's hard to explain without ruining things but let's say that this story/tv show tears the rule book in half as to what we've come to expect from a story/tv show. Read more ›
