Nightflyers review: George RR Martin's politically-charged sci-fi thriller reveals the seeds of 'Game of Thrones'
'Game of Thrones' (GoT) fans will have you convinced within minutes, there are few things that could compare to the magnificence of the HBO show, but SyFy's latest series, 'Nightflyers', will have you believe otherwise. Coming from Jeff Buhler, the science fiction space adventure with a dash of horror is based on a book of the same name, by George R. R. Martin - who also wrote the books that 'GoT' is based on.
This, all the more, convinces us - especially after viewing the first episode of 'Nightflyers' - that this show could be just as gory, along with some equally politically-charged lines of conspiracy, as 'GoT' is, thus potentially making up for the void of not witnessing the seven kingdoms engaging in sinister battles over the Iron Throne post 2019.
