I'm a huge fan of the show and have enjoyed the insider episodes documenting the production of each episode but this documentary (and I use that term lightly) was mainly a disjointed, badly edited home video. Yes we get to see behind the scenes sequences, rehearsals, make up applications and prop shop footage which is all good Fodor for a making of show but this overly long waste of my time was focused on foul mouth location manager full of her own self importance, a childlike makeup artist making phone calls to her daughter, a directors assistant pandering to a stubborn oaf and pointless repetition. A set dresser dealing with snow was interesting the first time we saw him, but by the third, I was thinking I'm bored of this guy now. His job is important but this show could have shown more people of been cut down to a half hour or 45 min special rather than the stretched out monotonous almost 2 hrs. Part of this shows charm is one of the stark soldier extras his comedic persona was a saving grace but again, don't show too much of him, there were other people there, seems the production team of this show were not wanted and only got the chance to speak to about 6 people and no offence to them, they are not as important as they think they are.

There's not much going for what's been the end of one of the greatest TV shows in history currently, and it's a shame to see it fizzle out to such a dull end. This documentary has no focus which doesn't help, it could've been split into segments and released in time as an exclusive special feature for the digital/physical versions of the show when they're released and detail the cast and crew where instead this is an add on that wasn't necessary at all in hindsight which is a shame to say the least. The documentary shifts through time as if it's a concept that doesn't exist which is to its downfall as in the end, the majority of the crew whom it follows are difficult to keep up with because they've been used sparingly and to no effect and the difficulties that the show had this time out aren't dug into and explored sadly. The exclusive time spent with Miguel Sapochnik, director of various episodes in season 8 and some of the most iconic episodes of the earlier seasons (Battle of the Bastards for example) is truly interesting as we see his abilities and the only true 'character' of the film in full effect as well as his 'beef' with the writers who constrained the production but again it's a storyline not touched upon, much like the roles of various others who are featured and sadly it's seems as though it was to merely benefit the filmmaker over any consumer with there being little substance to make it a worthy watch. Disappointing but not the worst

I do not know what was more boring the last episode or this documentary. Please skip this. They could have had more interviews with the cast members. The lady in charge of location was really dreadful. Every second word was an F bomb. She did this because she thought she would come across funny. This documentary was a disaster. Two hours wasted on this?!?
