The second season of Game of Thrones continues the story from season 1. Season 1 almost now feels like an introduction to the world of Westeros & Essos. The Stark & Lannister families are progressed thru the chaos that is engulfing Westeros. Daenerys Targaryen storyline is also progressing rapidly. King Joffrey becomes even more cruel & merciless. The acting is phenomenal. Everything about this show is great. It has an overall rating of 9.5 on IMDB & 98% on Rottentomatoes.com

This show is the best show on television for many reasons, but focusing on the product, I prefer BluRay over DVD because of the better quality and resolution as well as more content.

Awesome series to begin with. The bluray discs and packaging are superb. You get a nicely packaged box set with each of the main Game of Thrones characters pictured in the box set. 5 blur ray disc are included with a separate package for 2 two-sided DVD discs. What really makes the box set worth it is the Digital Copy that you CAN download to itunes or windows media AND you get the contents available on UltraViolet site where you can stream/watch it on any devices. I'm a huge digital copy fan and not only does the digital copy come with the original 10 episodes, but also 10 more extra episodes as well. Oh.. and they are ALL in HD quality. Very awesome! Just make sure you have about 19.5GB worth of free space. Overall this is a great HBO series to begin with. I don't think anyone can argue about that. But the packaging, crisp clear HD picture, True HD audio and HD digital copies makes this a collection well worth having for your home theater.

"The Game of Thrones" is literally the best television series I have ever seen! The stories are captivating and incorporate so many different elements: There's mystery and intrigue, adventure, action, and at other times it's almost like a soap opera. The acting is unparalleled and the cinematography is excellent. And even though The Game of Thrones falls under the fantasy genre, it effectively manages to suspend my disbelief because the world is so immersively detailed. I look forward to seeing all of the other seasons!

Had only gotten into game of thrones a few years ago but have spent most every winter rewatching basically every season over. I definitely recommend watching the first season but most people will be able to understand the plot starting on the second. I would recommend a tv with a good black balance to really make the show stand out.
