Esta temporada comienza con el vacío de poder que los protagonistas buscan llenar a través de Poniente y Essos. En el Castillo Negro, Jon Nieve lucha por equilibrar las demandas de la Guardia de la Noche con las de los recién llegados Stannis Baratheon, quien se erige como el legítimo rey de Poniente. Mientras tanto, Cersei trata de mantener su poder en el Desembarco del Rey en medio de los Tyrells y el surgimiento de un nuevo grupo religioso liderado por el enigmático Gorrión Supremo, mientras Jaime se embarca en una misión secreta. Al otro lado del Mar Angosto, Arya acude en busca de un viejo amigo mientras que un fugitivo Tyrion encuentra una nueva causa. A medida que aumenta el peligro en Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen descubre que su frágil control sobre la ciudad requiere algunos duros sacrificios.… (mehr)

I left it relatively satisfied but not entused about it. I really didn't care to know more, the arc resolved itself nicely and it was interesting.

Jessie Custer has returned to his home town to become a preacher, leaving his past behind him but he does have skills. He's conflicted and then he suddenly develops an unconventional power and finds that it attracts attention. The town is run by a rather mad industrialist and he's determined to own the church.

It's not a bad series and I wouldn't reject watching more but I wouldn't put much effort into getting it.

Various factions plot to gain political control over a fantasy world.

This season feels a bit like it's stalling for time. Which is weird to say, because a lot of really huge things happen. A couple storylines - the ones about characters in the north - have fully functional arcs, but I don't really care about those characters. The good characters' stories are just starting to get going when the season stops abruptly. Basically, seasons 1-4 were one big 40-episode season, and season five is like the beginning of a second giant season. I envy people first watching the show 5 years from now, who actually get to watch complete stories.
