Shot entirely on location in Ireland, “Game of the Thrones” is as beautiful as it is complex and treacherous, and the landscape lends itself to The Game’s mystic and horrible undertones. Mark Addy, Peter Dinklage, Iain Glen, Jennifer Ehle, Lena Headey, and Sean Bean lead a powerful cast. The ten-episode series weaves together seventeen major characters’ political and sexual schemes, mixing-in plenty of knightly sword-play and lots of nightly trysts. Observing all the properly epic conventions, and developing truly epic heroes and villains, “The Game of Thrones” was adapted for television from George Martin’s fantasy novel, Song of Ice and Fire. Fiercely reminiscent of Lord of the Rings and at least as complicated, HBO’s “Game of Thrones’” chronicles the genuinely epic story of seven noble families’ struggles over control of Westeros, their mythical homeland.
