Pros

  • Stunning acting performances and engaging characters.
  • Impressive sets, lavish locales, and special effects.
  • The series is highly recommended for its excellent production quality, comparable to the Hobbit series.
  • The final season is exciting and visually stunning, especially on a big screen with a projector.
  • Highly entertaining storytelling with remarkable plot twists keeps viewers engaged.
  • Dragon and fight scenes shine in high definition on Blay for a visually compelling experience.

Cons

  • Discs have playback issues, unplayable on multiple DVD players tested.
  • The digital copy is only HDX, not the 4K UHD as expected, leading to disappointment.
  • Some buyers feel misled by the 4K UHD upgrade, leading them to suggest a standard HDX Blay could have provided the same digital copy at a lesser price.
  • Heavy nudity and sexually graphic content, not suitable for children.
  • Glitches in the DVD box set can vary depending on the player used, creating frustration during viewing.

Bottom Line

While 'Game of Thrones: Season 8 (Steelbook/4K Ultra HD/BluRay)' offers impressive acting, stunning visuals, and captivating storytelling, it comes with notable playback and digital copy issues that have frustrated many viewers. If you’re drawn to spectacular on-screen experiences and plot twists, this could still be a worthwhile purchase—but double-check your equipment compatibility to ensure smooth viewing.
