Game of Thrones - S8 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
Lovers may become rivals. Siblings have become enemies. And a gigantic zombie army is marching south to kill everyone. Seems as if this final "Game Of Thrones" is off to an exciting and well-crafted start.
CNN.com
AJ Willingham
Maybe it's just a vibe, but it seems like the Golden Company's leader has absolutely no idea what he's gotten himself into and will not be pleased when he figures it out.
Financial Times
Suzi Feay
Peter Dinklage is simply outstanding, in a performance of genuine magnificence.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Michael Deacon
It was the most dramatic moment of an otherwise restrained scene-setter, largely composed of reunions and introductions. With only five more episodes of the show left to come, the lack of urgency did feel slightly frustrating.
New Yorker
Sarah Larson
I loved the wonder in Arya's eyes, and the wariness in Sansa's, as Drogon and Rhaegal swooped around in the sky.
Globe and Mail
Barry Hertz
Going forward, the only preparation I can offer is no preparation at all. All men, the saying goes, must die. Maybe our expectations should, too.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
A lot of little occurrences and satisfying hellos happened courtesy of writer David Hill and director David Nutter, and against my expectation, no major goodbyes left us slackjawed at the end of it all.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
Benioff and Weiss treat the premiere as an epic calm-before-the-storm outing, taking advantage of one of the largest gatherings of major characters they've ever had... This last rush of warmth couldn't have been more welcome.
Guardian
Lucy Mangan
The premiere pulled everyone and everything together; it was, for the most part, an almost nostalgic hour.
Boston Globe
Isaac Feldberg
"Thrones" has derived much of its drama from pitting blood against blood. But the premiere suggests another way, if these characters can survive the conflicts to come.
Independent (UK)
Ed Cumming
The truth the hype industry can't acknowledge is that Game of Thrones has grown less interesting as it has increased in size.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
The CGI overkill is surely to follow yet, as it stepped gingerly back into our lives, it was clear that Game of Thrones was determined to be as darkly, deliciously Machiavellian as ever.
Washington Post
David Malitz
Arguably the most intriguing moment of the episode was the final one.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Hillary Kelly
Please also note that Sansa, a woman, is the only person to ask the very practical and holy-shit-important question of what all these damn people are going to eat.
The Atlantic
David Sims
I found myself thrilled by getting to go inside the cuckoo clock, but mostly I was reassured by the underlying implication. After so many years of sprawl, Thrones now wants to go deep, not wide.
The Atlantic
Lenika Cruz
If anything, this episode made me marvel at just how much has changed since this whole journey began, which is clearly what Benioff and Weiss intended to do before they knock down the next set of dominoes.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
After a two-year gap and a dragon's-feast worth of hype, fans probably wanted grand plot movements. Instead, they got a buffet of inevitabilities... Yet I'd argue that this was one of the best Thrones episodes in a long time.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
An epic that excelled when it embraced patience, character development and detail is now hurtling full-speed toward its finale like that army of White Walkers charging through the remnants of what used to be the Wall.
NPR
Glen Weldon
It feels like the show's burning through the stuff it knows we're expecting so it can start doing the stuff we aren't.
Newsday
Verne Gay
So yes - absolutely - well worth the wait. "Game of Thrones" is back, along with its many pleasures, intrigues and characters. How could it not be?
