Truly an amazing show - definitely worth the watch, except perhaps season 8... The acting and effects are fantastic all the way through, but season 8 is too short to make sense of its "trying to be unexpected" story line, wrapping up a very big event in a single episode and trying to introduce a new conflict in the last two. Not enough time for it to feel possible rather than forced. The story portion of season 8 is all together a bit disappointing. That being said, amazing cast, costumes, sets, effect and music!!! Will be missing this show very much, I only regret that it did not have an ending worthy of its brilliance.
