![]() As well the cinematography and editing, which are cinematic quality as well. The visual effects are some of the best of any television programme and are not overused or abused, the scale, the detail and how they actually have character and soul are better than those in a lot of the big-budget blockbusters. The scenery is throughout spectacular, the sets are hugely atmospheric and beautiful on the eyes with a real meticulous eye for detail and the costumes suit the characters to a tee. Visually, "Winter is Coming" looks amazing. It is an example to all first/final episodes of how to start off a show. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not many shows have their overall quality, tones, themes and characterisations so spot on and well-established when it first starts, but 'Game of Thrones' is one of the strongest exceptions. "Winter is Coming" starts off 'Game of Thrones' absolutely brilliantly, couldn't change anything for the world. It totally lives up to the hype and not only does it do the brilliant source material justice (a rarity in television) it is on its own merits one of the finest, most addictive and consistently compelling shows in recent years and quality-wise it puts a lot of films in recent years to shame. Have found myself truly loving the show, very quickly becoming one of my favourites. Came to 'Game of Thrones' fairly late in the game and due to being so busy the binge-watching was gradual.
