Hueman Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Because Game of Thrones hasn't been great since season 1, what!? its gotten even better....season 3 was the greatest season thus far...its only getting better and better....all the seasons are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Season 1 is the best season by a wide margin. I'd say 3 edges out 2 but it's close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Maybe in terms of focus and consistency given that it had fewer storylines to cover, but in production values, seasons 2 and 3 surpass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Whores Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I agree that the production values are far more better and richer in seasons 2 and 3, but I'd rather take the tight and consistent story focus of season 1 than the far more broad and sporadic stories of later seasons (and yes, I know it was like that in the book. It just seemed not as bad in the books). Season 1 was also much more respectful to the source material, and there were much fewer needless deviations and changes, especially in the characters.

Of the end of season will dictate the course of how the bigger awards flow next year. If season 4 can keep up with season 3 while providing some pay offs for the RW and give the audience some "aha" moments then 4 will get the love.If not, well...let's just hope people keep watching it regardless.

Rara Avis Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't think it deserves main awards - writing, etc. There are much better written, tighter dramas out there. An incredible effort to produce all this does, but I don't know what category that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillon Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It may be more helpful to look at the shows which were nominated: I think most would agree that Breaking Bad deserves to be on there, and maybe Masters of Sex and House of Cards (haven't seen either yet, but the critical acclaim for both seems to be very widespread) as well. But The Good Wife? A very unexceptional legal drama which reviews for the previous season seem to be saying is running out of steam? And Downton fucking Abbey, which was never great in the first place but everyone seems to agree just had its worse season ever? C'mon, GoT annihilates both of those shows without breaking sweat. Still, at least the terminally, ludicrously-overated Homeland isn't on there either. And yeah, I enjoy The Walking Dead but it's never been on the same level even as GoT-at-it's-weakest-in-Season 2. Still, at least the Golden Globes showed some sanity in nominating Tatiana Maslany for Best Actress in a TV show, showing more sense than the Emmies. Errr, where did you get that idea? General concensus is that it's one of the best legal dramas on TV right now and probably one of the best ever, and this season has even been better than the last so far. If you've actually watched the show for more than one season, you're the first person I'll meet who has called it "unexceptional" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independent George Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Everything you need to know about awards shows can be summed up in a single sentence: The Wire never won a single Emmy in its entire run. If you want to talk specifically about the Golden Globes, we can say this: The Wire was never nominated for a single Golden Globe in its entire run. It's not worth getting upset about.
