The Atlantic essays
This past week, The Atlantic has run a series of five different takes on the hotly anticipated HBO show after watching the six preview episodes. Each of the essays approaches Game of Thrones from its own perspective, offering a review and discussion.
Correspondent and pop cultural blogger Alyssa Rosenberg opens the series, drawing parallels with The Sopranos and The Wire:
The cruelty of game of thrones dvd, much like that of The Wire, isn’t transformative—it’s revealing. Just as trying to reduce crime by creating a safe zone for drugs will get a good cop fired, there are grave consequences for Arya Stark, the noble girl who steps outside her sphere to challenge her world’s expectations for how girls should spend their time. Conformity is no certain refuge either: In Baltimore, adhering to an agreement earns an informant a beating, while in Westeros, Arya’s sister Sansa learns that lying for a prince won’t keep her safe.
