The upcoming season of Game of Thrones is not only arguably the most anticipated of the HBO series' run to date but according to the showrunners, it's also the best.

"Dan [Weiss] and I talk about this a lot," says David Benioff." This is not us trying to hype it. Usually there's an episode or two we're kind of nervous about, that didn't turn out as well as we hoped. This season there is not a weak episode. We had great directors who knew what they were doing, paired with excellent [directors of photography]. We thought at the script stage it might be our strongest season. Then the episodes came in better than we hoped. We're always reluctant to say 'it's the best season yet' because so much of that is in the eyes of the beholder. And Dan and I are so close to it that it's impossible to be unbiased. But that's my sense – watching them all together now, this is the best one we've done. It's also the one I'm proudest of, because it was the hardest."

That's some very high praise from a showrunner. If season one does turn out to be the best yet, it will be one amazing 10-episode run. The previous seasons of Game of Thrones have earned some of the most emotional responses from fans around the world. Be it the Red Wedding, Jon Snow's 'death,' or a controversial sex scene, the show is not afraid to push the limits or its characters.

Game of Thrones returns April 24 on HBO.
