This past weekend I finished
re-watching the series Game of Thrones. I started re-watching the series
because my girlfriend finally started watching during season seven and was
seriously confused with what was going on. We started the series together
again in the beginning of September and now she is caught up and excited for
season eight to arrive. Game of Thrones is by far the best television
show I have ever watched. The reasons I say this is because there is
literally something for everyone whether you like action, drama, romance,
history, science fiction, or anything else this show has it all. The best
part of the show is just how detailed and important every episode is to the
series. There are small clues and hints given through out the whole
series that you don't even remotely notice are important until you are up to
date on the show. The show has white walkers, which are basically
zombies, dragons, historical aspect such as the use of Greek fire, and tons of
drama. I highly recommend the show to anyone who loves good television.

I have never seen Game of Thrones before but by the description that you gave I will probably start watching it. I also think that you picked great vocabulary words.
ReplyDeleteNice entry! I am fan of GoT. I caught up after the third season. The acting is extraordinary. I don't care for some of the sadistic and lurid parts, but I think the show as a whole is a remarkable achievement.
ReplyDeletePS. Be careful to simplify the vocab definitions.
