The "Game of Thrones" series, season 6: reviews, release date, actors

In the spring of 2016 a new "Game of Thrones" (6 season). Critics and fans were mostly positive. The new part of the sensational franchise was remembered by large-scale battle scenes, soul-searching drama, sharp turns of the plot and a unique atmosphere of the fictional world.

The series was shown around the world, and its ratings again broke the records. Even after the release of the last series on the Web, discussions continue. The fans are building guesses as to what has been shown and what will happen next.

"Game of Thrones" (season 6, 1 series): differences from the book

The new season is radically different from the previous ones. Many reviews begin with this distinction. April 24 on the American channel HBO came "Game of Thrones" (6 season). 1 series immediately made it clear that from now on the series will go a different path than the book. Prior to this, all the screen versions of George Martin's series "The Song of Ice and Fire" corresponded to the best-selling books. Now the show has shown events that are described in the still unreleased sixth part called "Wind of the Winter". Also, the chapters of the previous parts of the book were demonstrated, since the narrative is conducted simultaneously on behalf of several heroes. This caused some indignation among the fans of books. Many of them are sure that Benioff will not be able to recreate the unique atmosphere of the "Song" and Martin's permission to show the series is a disrespect to his fans.

Reviews about the plot moves

But the reviews of other epic fans were very positive. Part of the audience is satisfied with the fact that the plot lines of the series are contrary to the book series. This became clear after the release of the second series of May 1, 2016. In the "Song of Ice and Fire" an important part is given to Prince Dorn. His far-reaching plans gave rise to many different theories about the fate of the Iron Throne. But in the second episode of the prince, as well as the daughter of the Lanister, Mirzell is killed. The sudden killing of the main characters is exactly what the "Game of Thrones" is most memorable. 6 season, reviews of which were enthusiastic, just overwhelmed by such plot moves.

Unexpected events

The opinions of many critics noted the eccentricity and suddenness of the plot. As already mentioned, the death of the main characters is the hallmark of the series.

However, even so, the sixth season managed to surprise the viewer again. Even before the release of the first series, there were controversies about the fate of John Snow. As a result, everything was resolved at the end of the second episode: Snow rose and left the Night Watch. Usually such a reception (resurrection), even in the cinema, even in literature, is taken by critics as the author's inability to find a more logical continuation of the hero's story line. However, in the case of John Snow, this turn looked quite organic and fit perfectly with the logic of the universe invented by George Martin. Such variants are filled with the "Game of Thrones" (season 6). Reviews of a large number of surprises give an occasion to think of the writers when writing the plot of the next season.

Sudden deaths

A lot of feedback related to the last episode. In general, how many episodes in the 6th season of the "Game of Thrones" were known in advance. But after the release of the ninth episode, many decided that he was the last because of the logical completion of several storylines. But the show was again able to surprise the viewer. In the final series, Queen Cersei killed a good half of the heroes with one explosion, which were positioned as positive. This non-standard move caused as many encouraging reviews, and a barrage of indignation of some fans because of the death of their favorite characters. Also one more event disturbed the Network.

In the fifth episode, Khodor is crippled under terrible circumstances. And then the mystery of his illness is revealed. The drama of the moment gave rise to many discussions.

Battle scenes

Epic battle scenes - this is what the "Game of Thrones" (6 season) was remembered for. Reviews about the quality of performances of various battles were positive. In addition to individual clashes, there were two major battles. They were announced in advance, and the audience eagerly awaited them. Both battles are shown in the ninth series of the series "The Game of Thrones" (season 6). The release date for the episode is June 19.

At the beginning of the series, a battle takes place between the army of the Deeneris and the army of the Lord. On the screen, the audience is shown the burning of Dana's enemies by dragons. Critics appreciated the used special effects. In addition to the dragons, the frame also included an armada of ships, which looked very realistic. But most of the reviews concerned the so-called Battle of the Bastards - the battle of the King of the North against Lord Bolton.

Realistic moments

In addition to the epic and excellent production, the audience noted extremely high realism. Unlike other similar scenes in Hollywood movies, "The Battle of the Bastards" was as close as possible to the real battles of the Middle Ages. Mountains of corpses, jolts instead of painting sword strokes, hit on their own and other "delights" of the struggle of ten thousand men are perfectly shown in the ninth series. In addition to the visual component, there was also a remarkable incandescence of drama, when the dying North army came to the aid of the Knights of the Valley.

"Game of Thrones" (season 6): actors

The cast has received the most flattering words from both fans and the press. First of all, critics highly appreciated the game of the main team of actors. Peter Dinklage, as always, skillfully played the short-grown heir of the Lanister who drinks wine, releases acuity and solves complex strategic tasks. This season, one of the central characters was John Snow.

Keith Harington managed to show the viewer the reincarnation of the young bastard soldier of the Night Watch in the stern commander of the northerners. It is worth noting that during the filming of the season, Kit's participation was actively hidden from the press, since in the last episode he died. Nevertheless, the paparazzi managed to photograph him during the shooting of the series "The Game of Thrones", season 6. The date of release, by the way, was also known to journalists before the official release.

But almost the most colorful character of the season was Ramsey Snow (Bolton). Fans really flattered the game of Ivan Rehon. He managed to accurately recreate the frenzy-monster from the book. On the Internet appeared a lot of fotozhab, pictures, hyph-files and other content from Ramsey.

Unfortunately, for the Welshman this season was the final one. The death of the bastard was not the last surprise brought by the "Game of Thrones", season 6. Actors, who became popular due to the franchise, set the condition for the absence of bed scenes with them. Nevertheless, Emilia Clark again was present naked in the frame, which pleased the yellow press and a separate category of fans of the series.

The new season confirmed the status of the series as one of the most watched over the last decade. "Game of Thrones" (6 season) in Russian, of course, exists. It can be viewed in translation from several studios. The most popular are "Alex-film" and "Lostfilm."
