         George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It's the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne. Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain.

            The story has a interesting arc that included that cast yet doesn't bring it full circle which creates many unknowns for the teams future

              The main battle is between Butcher and Hughie Campbell ( Jack Quaid) to try and expose the team but things get complicated quick and go sideways for them also.

             As it get to the climactic end some questions get answered as to who is to blame for the entire sage yet that more questions to be answered. Hence for sequel coming soon
