The world premiere of Game of Thrones's eighth season took place on Wednesday night, giving a limited audience in New York City a first look at the show's final chapter. Recording footage and tweeting spoilers were strictly prohibited, but viewers still couldn't help sharing their excitement about Season 8, Episode 1 online. Luckily, most viewers have kept mum on exact plot points, but their reactions to episode do give us a hint of what's to come. Here's what they're saying:
The episode "contains sooo much" in one hour.
Fans won't be disappointed.
There are "so many reunions" and "epic sequences."
Don't watch it on your phone.
As expected, it's "amazing."
Even some cast members shared their reactions on social media. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) freaked out on Instagram. She wrote:
"WE SAW THE FIRST GODDAMN EPISODE AND ITS SO GODDAMN GOOD YOU GUYS ARE GONNA FREAK OUT. ????????????????????
But really though....

Jason Momoa, who played Clarke's onscreen husband, Drogo, in the first season, also shared his thoughts. "HOLY SHIT I saw Game of Thrones Mind blown. The greatest ever," he said.
Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) said, "The first episode was FANTASTIC!"
A more revealing review in The Telegraph teases that the episode is "heavy focused around reunions" and contains a "noticeably lighter, more humorous tone." (Surprising for a show that's involved so much death.) The piece is a bit spoiler-y, but if you dare to know more about what happens, read the full review here.
Fans can finally watch Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 when it airs next Sunday, April 14, on HBO.
