Cinemascope: Game of Thrones (Season 3)

Cinemascope is a regular blog post where I will share with you movies and TV shows I think are worth watching.


Season 1 was released in 2011, and Season 4 is currently playing on HBO .

Plot line: Nine noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the throne. The friction between the houses Stark, Lannister, Baratheon and Targaryen and with the remaining great houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn,Tyrell and Martell leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond.

This TV series is based on A Song of Ice and Fire series of books. I love both the books and the TV series. Since we are not a cable house, I am always a season behind on the show. This 3rd season is not as fabulous as the first two, but still really good. Winter is coming!

You can see the Season 3 trailer here. If you have yet to see it, this is a TV series worth watching.
