Game of Thrones: Battle of the Bastards (2016)
Season 6, Episode 9
Out of this world - A masterpiece
27 November 2020
The writing, the music, the action, the directing, the acting, the scenery, the effects, the dialogue, the brutality, the intensity, the climax, the emotions - this is one of the finest hours I've spent watching a TV show of film related thing. This is a piece of filmmaking that comes so few times, maybe every now and then in a series. Game of Thrones is a wonderful, exceptionally well made series based off a compelling, irreplaceable series of books, and when I tell you this might just be the best episode I'm certainly not messing around. This isn't particularly my favourite episode, but it's a definite top five, and I think in regards to how well it was made, it might be the absolute best of the entire show. Everything is astounding, the thing I love most is the dark nature and tone of the episode, and while every episode of the series pretty much has this to its name, this is by all means one of the darkest, or darker episodes, which I love. The acting, action, and the look of the episode, are also some of my favourites. This is a very epic penultimate episode. And to make it even better, the episode is beyond tragic, emotions-driven, and totally captures the best atmosphere. It is sad, even heartbreaking, but very, very wonderfully executed and caught, and the climax is truly something. I think it's safe to say it's one of the greatest episodes in TV show history.
