	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[8th Season Review]: [It] is doing absolutely stellar work within the bounds set around its current era: Highly burnished entertainment that lingers on no story point a beat more than strictly necessary to communicate the idea."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[8th Season Review]: You give me 50+ minutes of Arya reacting to things and I'm reasonably satisfied. That's how I'd describe my response to Sunday's premiere: Reasonably satisfied."	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[8th Season Review]: The final season seems to understand what’s really expected of it: big, meaningful moments that effectively complicate an ending that will be expected to subvert everyone’s expectations."	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[8th Season Review]: This is the best 'Game of Thrones' premiere since the pilot (...) It is just funny enough, and just self-aware enough (without being too sly)"	POS
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"[8th Season Review]: Premiere is fun yet frustrating (...) Stunning landscapes and long-awaited meetups set up the chessboard with excruciating deliberation"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[8th Season Review]: The show has stepped up its pacing. For the most part, that has been immensely satisfying (...) If the premiere is any guide (...) the remaining five episodes promise to be a genuinely wild ride"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"[8th Season Review]: 'Game of Thrones' has kicked off its final season by amplifying many of the past few seasons’ worst mistakes (...) [It] is now hurtling full-speed toward its finale"	NEG
United States	Erik Kain Forbes	"[8th Season Review]: Overall, I really loved this season premiere. It didn't have any of the really stupid stuff that punctuated so much of Season 7"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"[8th Season Review]: Frankly, there isn’t much going on, compared to previous episode one (...) It’s still good fun, but the high intrigue of the show at its best (...) has been lost (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: The Season 7 premiere is a little sublime and a little nuts-and-bolts, which is to be expected from a show about to take on a massive storytelling challenge. (...) for all of its silliness, Game of Thrones still has a lot of poetry to share with the audience."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: The women of ‘Game of Thrones’ make their moves in premiere. (...) Season 7 of GoT kicked off Sunday night with a bloody, crowd-pleasing start."	POS
United States	Jeremy Egner The New York Times	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: 'Shall we begin?' The Dragon Queen asks Tyrion. (...) We only have 12 more episodes to go - so if she's ready, so am I."	POS
United States	Bill Keveney USA Today	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: Now that's how to start an episode."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[7th Season Review]: Reliably dark but intriguing. (...) Game of Thrones, as always, leaves us conflicted and confused. It remains a show that hates the weak, but loves its small victories. It is the most delicious of cheeseburgers, but also hard to evaluate without seeing more."	POS
United Kingdom	James White Empire	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: It's still exciting to see new alliances form, but surely the best is saved for last (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Alyssa Rosenberg The Washington Post	"[7th Season Review - Episode 1]: We've begun the journey, and it is going to be formidable."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[6th Season Review]: A strong return, complete with brutal violence and shocking nudity."	POS
United States	Forbes	"[6th Season Review]: Lots of big surprises—some good, some bad—greet us as we embark on the sixth season (...) This was a strong, surprising return to "Game of Thrones'"	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"[6th Season Review]: Though the season premiere delivers the power and pathos fans have come to expect, there is, in fact, a slight but still identifiable shift: 'Game of Thrones' is, in more than a few moments, funny."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"[6th Season Review]: Yes, it's true that all men must die (...) but for the time being we won't miss one gloriously brutal moment of this series."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[6th Season Review]: Fifteen years ago, the most wonderous thing that would happen on an HBO series would be a Tony Soprano dream sequence. Now, a prestige drama audience is showing up every week for a TV show about dragons. There's real magic, in that."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[5th Season Review]: 'Game of Thrones' is still remarkable for both the scrupulousness and the lavishness of its production, beautiful to look at and mostly engaging to follow."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[5th Season Review]: Both my inner fan and inner critic agree: The fifth season is superb. (...) Deeper, richer and -- surprise -- quieter. Well, a bit quieter anyway"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"[5th Season Review]: It is still a magnificent beast: bold, confident and venturing off in new directions."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[5th Season Review]: The fifth season is filled with great scenes even if the pace frustrates."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[5th Season Review]: 'Game of Thrones’ is more gripping than ever. (...) It is a triumph of superb storytelling."	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"Though some of the visual cues will be very familiar to fans of "Lord of the Rings" or even "The Tudors," Game of Thrones quickly finds that rare alchemy of action, motivation and explanation"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"The art direction, acting and incredible sets are as breathtaking as the massive scope of the series. A bit slow at first, but it's a grabber once you get into it (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Be prepared. Game of Thrones isn't a popcorn epic. More like steak: red-blooded and raw (...) the real magical wizardry here lies in the rich storytelling, embroiling a bounty of memorable characters young and old in a fatalistic free-for-all"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"This is a sprawling, exciting, blood-soaked story, filled with great set pieces and wonderful actors (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"Worth the wait? Absolutely."	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"Massive, cruelly dense, absurdly complicated and absolutely thrilling"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Brilliant, exasperating, enthralling"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"It’s big, bloody and downright glorious"	POS
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"It's another level of pop culture wizardry to make such storytelling seem so vivid, so vital, and just plain fun"	POS
