an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Why is one of the most successful shows on HBO followed by an atrocity like "After the Thrones"? This is a question I asked myself during my first ever viewing of the show. This viewing took place after Season 6 Episode 10 of GoT and was able to last all of 10 minutes max. My rationale was that I would try watching the show after they loosened up from their debut, hence episode 10. I don't know if it was just their buttoned-up, giggly, girl-like, powder-puff demeanor or their complete lack of depth when it came to Game of Thrones but these are not the kind of personalities I would cast for a show with such a fanatical following. Instead it would be smarter to bring someone in like AltShiftX - https://www.youtube.com/user/JaiWbio (I'm not affiliated in any way) simply due to the level of knowledge of both the books and the shows as well as the perspective he brings. He's doing this on YouTube and puts "After the Thrones" to shame. Shame! Shame!I write this because it's HBO and the show deserves better than the current "After the Thrones" hosts. Furthermore, it's baffling how they got their deal approved. They must have a relative or a college buddy working at HBO. Either ditch "After the Thrones" completely or get rid of the current hosts, it does a disservice to the GoT fans out there. If you don't believe me read the other one star reviews.

I've watched every episode of After the Thrones and multiple times during each episode I wonder if these guys have even watched the show. They question details from past seasons that every mild fan would remember. Also put down the stupid bells . I do appreciate the lore but everything else (predictions, character's motives, GoT tradition) is all kinds of screwed up so sorry guys but 1/10 in my book. This show could be saved though. Keep the studio and the people in the control booth, they seem to be doing their job perfectly fine, but ditch these awful hosts. When people watch shows about a show it's like watching something in the extras menu on a DVD, we want something extra not just half attempts to recap the episode.

Nice to see a Grantland-esque studio set up and running again. They provide play by play recaps of the episodes and pepper in analysis and background info on characters. They show where scenes are happening on the world map, this actually helps a lot. But the overall feel is weird. This might be mean but I feel Greenwald and Chris Ryan have zero pull when it comes to being on screen outside of podcast recordings on Youtube. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of them as people, I read their recaps on Grantland all season last year and they were the best. Everyone from the Ringer/Grantland including Simmons himself is far better in print.

The tone is lighter than the actual show, and no it's not The Talking Dead which is a moderated discussion of the show and comparing it to that isn't necessarily correct IMO. Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald show their enthusiasm for the show, and they've helped in trying to organize the vast ouvre of this universe. The segments: "Who The That" helps figure out people who have not been in the forefront of the narrative "Who Won The Week" is a fun look at which character did well for themself. The argument that they're giggly and all that stuff is a matter of preference, as someone who listened to "Watch The Thrones" on Grantland I'm really happy to see these guys do their thing under HBO and I hope to see them til the end. Mallory Rubin has been awesome and we need more Jason Concepcion. The people complaining about this show doesn't like the tone but the content is fine.
