Mar 25, 2019 (Updated Mar 25, 2019)
The ending upset me a lot!
Billy is very sweet and likeable and is probably my favourite character.
Mrs Ratched makes me so angry, and it's clear to see why she won an Oscar for her role. She is silently devious and unbelievably controlling.
Mac is a slow burner. You're unsure of him in the beginning, unsure whether to like him but by the end I must say i loved him!
Chief, Martini and Cheswick are some of the other cast members and they are very rounded, likeable characters.
Mac brings a sense of rebellion and fun into these men's lives, he doesn't go about a lot of stuff the right way but he treats these men with respect and dignity. He becomes their friend, he sticks up for them and doesn't treat them as if they're stupid or crazy. He treats them like an equal and it's lovely.

May 27, 2019 (Updated May 27, 2019)
We follow Robb Stark for much of the season, as he proceeds to March toward King's Landing in open rebellion against the crown after the events of season 1. It's another slow burning season, but once again, nothing becomes dull, every scene is engaging, and you as a viewer are given time to digest all of the information being handed to you, as well as getting to know both new characters, and already established characters - learning to really detest Joffrey is a particular treat (Hats off to Jack Gleeson).
This season also contains the first proper battle of the show, in the episode Blackwater, which remains one of my favourite episodes to this day.
The closing episodes of season 1 showed that GoT was a show that was not afraid to pull any punches, and season 2 is almost an apitizer for what is yet to come.
Top tier TV!
