Among the early critical praise for the fourth season, the Los Angeles Times called GAME OF THRONES "the Best Television Show Ever," adding that "no other series comes close," and "television just doesn't get any better than this," while Newsday hailed the series as "still TV's best," awarding the show an A+. The Hollywood Reporter observed, "The consistency of excellence in GAME OF THRONES is truly something to behold," and the San Francisco Chronicle described it as "great and addictive."
