“Last year’s Emmy® Award winner for Outstanding Drama Series and currently nominated for 23 2016 Emmy® Awards including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Directing Outstanding Supporting Actress (Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams) and Outstanding Supporting Actor (Peter Dinklage, Kit Harrington), Game of Thrones is bigger than ever delivering “the power and pathos fans have come to expect” (Los Angeles Times). The HBO drama has consistently been the top selling TV on DVD/BD for the past five years and now fans can get the most recent season earlier than ever when Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season debuts from HBO Home Entertainment on Digital HD on August 1, 2016 and on Blu-ray™ with Digital HD and DVD November 15, 2016.”
If you aren’t watching Game of Thrones by now, you are missing out on some of the best television that ever existed. Game of Thrones is a rare show that gets better with every season, season 6 holding two of the most intense episodes in the series. We find more people rising to power, deep dark secrets coming to light and evil finally receiving punishment. If you are a first timer to Game of Thrones, season 6 will make a fan out of you, although I only suggest watching the show from the beginning in order to fully comprehend what is happening.
This set is FULL of bonus features and extras. There are enough extras to keep you busy for hours. I would recommend a giant bag of chips, a warm blanket and some comfy PJs to sit through all of these great features.
