The struggle for power in the kingdom known as Westeros begins in the first season of Game of Thrones, a dense fantasy drama based on the A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels from George R.R. Martin. Adapted for television by creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, all ten episodes from the first season are included in this collection. As Ned Stark (Sean Bean) looks to protect his family after receiving a flattering offer from the Lannisters, Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey), heirs to the Lannister kingdom, look to protect a dark secret that threatens to endanger their family's standing. Meanwhile, the contemptuous Viserys Targaryen (Harry Lloyd) looks to clear his path to the throne by marrying his younger sister Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) to the Dothraki king, Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa). The series also stars Kit Harrington as Jon Snow, the bastard son of Ned, and Peter Dinklage in an Emmy-winning performance as the mercurial, enigmatic Tyrion Lannister.
The complete second season of the fantasy drama based on the George R.R. Martin series of novels, A Song of Ice and Fire, is available in this collection. All 10 episodes from this dense, wide-spanning season are included, as the Starks, Lannisters and Dothraki warriors continue their battle for supremacy. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) is forced to stop into action as he is directly attacked, Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) leads the fight against the mighty White Walkers, and the young tyrant King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) leads an attack on the Stark family, causing his wife, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), to retaliate.
