The perfect score of 5 up above is a compilation average of how I ranked all eight seasons of Game of Thrones in my previous 4K/Blu-ray reviews. Then I ended up watching all ten episodes in a single sitting, and became a loyal viewer for the remainder of the series’ run.

A lot of people, myself included, weren't thrilled with how it ended, but there's no denying it had a great run for many years.With HBO Max taking the step, it’s now possible its UK broadcast partner Sky might offer access to the advanced versions via Sky Q or Sky Glass. This is a series where it feels like anything can happen… and that is a rare and wonderful thing indeed. If you’re a fan of the show and 4K Disc home media collector, then you’ll remember that the first season (full review HERE) and eighth season (full review HERE) of the show were previously released on the preferred format we’re here to talk about today. All those outdoor shots of rugged landscapes and dour stone walls look stunningly real and tangible versus the HD Blu-ray, and the extra resolution enhances the sense of depth and scale in these shots too. Though I'm only near the end of season 2, having watched before on either DVD or Bluray, the 4k print is exceptional and a major improvement, both in terms of detail and colour realism.

While the in-episode guides may have gone, there is still one strong interactive feature on the final disc that lets you explore the history, lore, Houses and geography of Westeros. At least when the rears are actually used in anger, though, the effect steering is precise, and can deliver genuinely dramatic effects - such as the way the cawing crow that arrives on Bran’s window in episode three shifts position from the front speaker to the rear right surround as the camera changes its point of view. Although all armies appear to be rivals they will have to come together to have any chance of defeating the threat and staying alive against the vast Army of The Dead but will they all rally to the cause ? The HBO show has earned a total of 161 Emmy nominations and 59 wins, which are the most nominations and wins of any Comedy or Drama series in Emmy history. The dynamic range of this surround track feels like you’re climbing the highest peaks of Everest and want to shout it to the world.Yes, that’s 33 discs, and the consistent quality across all of them is something else and a wonder to behold. Color Reproduction: Compared to the 1080p Blu-ray Disc the colors here appear wider thanks in part to the 4K’s Wide Color Gamut resulting in both more natural, lifelike colors as well as bold ones too. Put all these HDR and color-expanding strengths together and you get pictures that often take on an almost painterly beauty - no matter how harrowing their content might be. Fine details in the costumes are both exquisite and quite amazing looking here especially in the furs.

The densest parts of the soundtrack - including the opening title track - can sound a little soupy, too. It’s also what you’ve been waiting for to truly flex the muscles of your home cinema projector and dedicated 4K UHD Blu-ray player.We just started season and it’s a long way to the “Long Night” but I can already see the huge difference! Beyond Dolby Vision the 4K Ultra HD Discs also feature Dolby Atmos surround tracks plus the inclusion of over 15 hours of bonus features originally released on the 2019 Game of Thrones: The Complete Series and The Complete Collection (Limited Collector’s Edition) Blu-ray sets.

All seventy-three episodes are included on thirty 4K Ultra HD discs, which actually do include significant special features too. Since the episodes have been transcoded to UHD/HLG 50Hz I would assume that they will appear again, unless some contractual issue arose.Initially, the company includes Sean Bean ( The Lord of the Rings), Mark Addy ( The Full Monty), Lena Headey ( Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Emilia Clarke ( Solo), Kit Harington ( Spooks aka MI5), Peter Dinklage ( The Station Agent), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Nightwatch), Charles Dance ( Alien 3), and many more.

Collectors of SteelBooks may well want this edition of the series, and the packaging is handsome if rather restrained looking. Only time will tell until the jury is out on that, but I regret to inform you that as beautiful as things look here on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc it doesn’t change the lackluster, unimaginative ending employed in Season 8.
