Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season Blu-Ray Review

It’s tough to fault such a well-made and poignant show. The same thing can be said for this Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season Blu-ray set, at least from a technical standpoint. It’s beautiful and boisterous, but a few more extras would have helped make it a better release. Still, it’s tough to really come down hard on what is a must-own for fans of great television and immersive fantasy fiction.
