Best Game of Thrones Seasons

Season 4
King Joffrey is poisoned at his wedding, which results in Tyrion Lannister standing trial for regicide. The Night's Watch defends the Wall against a massive Wildling army led by Mance Rayder. Oberyn Martell arrives in King's Landing to seek justice for his sister but is killed in a trial by combat.
Yes, I'm glad Season 4 is on top, but Season 7 comes close, I confess. Season 4 is the best season ever.
The best consistency from beginning to end. It seemed to have the most going on.
Season 4 is by far the best, with episodes like "The Lion and the Rose," "The Watchers on the Wall," "The Mountain and the Viper," "The Children," and "The Laws of Gods and Men."

Season 6
Jon Snow is resurrected by Melisandre and later retakes Winterfell from Ramsay Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards. Cersei Lannister destroys the Great Sept of Baelor with wildfire to eliminate the High Sparrow and her enemies. Daenerys Targaryen defeats the Khals and sets sail for Westeros with her armies and dragons.
The Door, Book of the Stranger, and The Broken Man seem to be the best episodes of this season and even rank among the top 10 episodes of the show.
The Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter are arguably the best episodes of the series.
The last two episodes of this season were the icing on the cake.

Season 3
Robb Stark's war against the Lannisters continues, but he faces internal challenges and dangerous alliances. Daenerys gains powerful allies and begins building an army to reclaim her family's throne. The season culminates with the Red Wedding, a massacre that changes the power dynamics in Westeros.

Season 1
Eddard Stark investigates the death of Jon Arryn and discovers the truth about Cersei Lannister's children. Daenerys Targaryen marries Khal Drogo and eventually hatches three dragons from stone eggs. The execution of Ned Stark by King Joffrey sparks a war between the Starks and Lannisters.
The one that started it all and has one of the best characters: Ned Stark!

Season 2
Tyrion Lannister serves as acting Hand of the King and defends the city against Stannis Baratheon during the Battle of the Blackwater. Theon Greyjoy captures Winterfell while Robb Stark wins victories in the Westerlands. Daenerys Targaryen visits Qarth and retrieves her stolen dragons from the House of the Undying.
Outstanding season with the amazing Blackwater episode and really great episodes overall. It also has a strong and exciting finale.
-
Season 7
Daenerys arrives at Dragonstone and unleashes her dragon on the Lannister army during the Loot Train Attack. Jon Snow ventures beyond the Wall to capture a wight to prove the existence of the White Walkers. The Night King uses an undead dragon to destroy the Wall and march his army south.
This season has been excellent so far. There's no messing around like in the past couple of seasons.
Action-packed season even though it only has 7 episodes.
This season had the battle we all waited for since Season 2: Dany vs. the Lannisters.

Season 5
Jon Snow is elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and battles the White Walkers at Hardhome. Daenerys faces an insurgency from the Sons of the Harpy in Meereen and flees the city on Drogon. Cersei Lannister arms the Faith Militant, which leads to her arrest and walk of atonement through King's Landing.
The slowest season, but it gets a lot better toward the end.
-
Season 8
The White Walkers launch a full assault on Winterfell, leading to a climactic battle that decides the fate of the living. Daenerys faces the ultimate challenge for the Iron Throne as her allies question her methods and loyalty. The season concludes with a reshaping of the power structure in Westeros and the beginning of a new era.
