The Daily Telegraph stated in regards to the premiere episode, "Essentially, this was an exercise in scene setting, the chess pieces being laid out on the board."[58] New York Daily News praised the season to have "little trouble keeping its pedal to the metal" due to its "cold-blooded characters treating personnel turnover as the natural order", when other shows "are starting to run out of gas by Season 5".[59] Slant Magazine gave the season 3.5 out of 4 and stated, "There's plenty of death in the fifth season of the show, and it's understood as a cautionary symbol of power."[60] Vanity Fair called this season "rich, satisfying and fantastically put together".[61] Variety gave the season a positive review and stated, "Operating on a scale like nothing else on TV, and creatively liberated to play a long game stretching into the future, perhaps no project better distinguishes HBO's status as the leading premium player."[62] IndieWire gave the season a score of 'B+' and found the "first few episodes skew dry, concerned largely with the establishment of allegiances", but still praised them for keeping the audiences "connected to those who have managed to survive thus far in the battle for power."[63]

Business Insider noted a significant difference in the ratings between this season and previous seasons. The typical pattern involves "Solid premiere viewings followed by a slow but steady gain of momentum through to the finale. Historically, the finale episodes of each season have beaten the premiere for total number of viewers". However, this season showed a significant decline from 8 million viewers at the premiere to 5.4 million at the seventh episode, "The Gift". Business Insider cites two likely reasons for the lower ratings: backlash over the rape scene in "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken", one of many deviations from the novels throughout the season that "have upset fans," and increased online streaming through HBO Now. It also acknowledged a possible effect of the first four episodes leaking online before the season premiere and the decision to air on Memorial Day weekend in the United States (a weekend that had been skipped in previous seasons). Business Insider reached out to HBO for comment, HBO responded that it is seeing an increase in overall viewer numbers this season taking into account streaming services, which are not included in Nielsen ratings.[74][94] The dip in ratings did not extend to the eighth and ninth episodes, "Hardhome," and "The Dance of Dragons", which were both seen by over 7 million viewers.[77] The season finale, "Mother's Mercy" was seen by 8.11 million people, setting a new record and making it the most watched episode of the series.[19]
Back in 2015 four episodes of season 5 of Game of Thrones leaked online before the series premiere. The leak earlier this week reportedly resulted in 1.5 terabytes of sensitive data being stolen from HBO, though it was initially believed only the script for the next episode of season 7 got out.
I've watched and re-watched Game Of Thrones many times, a lot ofpeople believe that a season is a year, which it isn'tparticularly, in cases it could be though, but in Game Of Thronesit really isn't. Using a lot of math and statements given bycharacters you can easily discover a how time works in the show,and easy way to convey or show this is that two episode is a month,but of events in the harder way with a lot more math could mean15-25 episode is somewhere around a year. I feel that the ages ofthe characters should be changed because of this, so far I thinkthat it's only been two-three years from season 1.
