Game of Thrones: The Wars to Come (2015) Season 5, Episode 1

powerful beginning

[9/10 · 13 April 2015]

I was a fan of "Game of thrones" first season. After death of Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) I lost previous interest for some reasons, mostly because of huge number of characters and subplots. I watched all the seasons but not joyfully. I was planning to continue watching like this, but something happened.

The day before season 5 premiere I watched "Game of thrones: a day in life". It is a behind the scene short movie. Great amount of accessories and number of cast & crew was astonishing. I was really impressed which changed my point of view.

Besides, although there is no "previously on..." in s5 e1 but, wisely, the past events are narrated by characters, for example death of Tyrion's mistress by himself and so on just in time. We also see all of main characters except Arya (Lord Stark daughter), I guess.

Game of thrones fifth season had a powerful beginning. I wish (and I am sure) all the fans will be satisfied

Mad Men: Severance (2015) Season 7, Episode 8

confusing

[7/10 · 6 April 2015]

First of all, I want to admit that I am a big fan of series; but when I started to watch, I was shocked: There was no "previously on Mad Men" after such a long gap. (was there or I missed that?)

Secondly, it seems we are encountered with a cinematic gap between recent episodes; because there are some characters or events that I am not aware of and most of main characters have mustache (why?!)

So, I am confused by Mad Men S7 E8 and a little disappointed in fact. I just watched but could not digest it. I hope something happens in the next episode. Although it is a little impossible, because John Hamm said in the red carpet "we have filmed rest of series a few months ago"
