GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
lenvm I like the way that the show seems detached from GoT even though it has the network's imprimatur. Thankfully, there are no actors or directors as guests, which would turn the discussion into a mere celebration of the show. In fact, "After the Thrones" avoids evaluating the show at all. At its best, the show offers a helpful focus on themes and "big ideas." (In this respect, it's better than the weekly discussions of GoT on TYT's "What the Flick," for example.)The two hosts are amateurs who are unlikely ever to get another show, and this makes them likable. Their willingness to be corrected by GoT expert Mallory made them sympathetic at first, but after a few episodes this repeated format gets annoying. Other aspects of the format that seem forced are the "Who Won the Week?" discussion, as though they were forgetting that the show is fiction and not a sports contest.The two hosts and two guest experts are likable, although they try too hard to steer a middle ground between being too geeky on the one hand, and too cool on the other; their references to "bros" and sports figures feel like forced attempts at sophistication. There's an annoying tendency to play everything for laughs.The best parts of the discussion are when the hosts play their roles as really smart English majors and take a stab at synthesizing the big ideas. Hearing that kind of discussion is thought-provoking. It's harder to come up with an argument than with a ton of sophisticated pop-culture references. Stick with the big ideas rather than the fireworks.
Eric Schultz 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.
Scain678 ....then watch this drivel one second longer. Their voice...their intonation...their ridiculous pop culture references. I hate with a red hot fiery passion everything about them. They come across as smug Ivy League know it alls...who really no nothing. When I see their faces, I want to vomit green goo. I would rather lay on a bed of nails then watch this show. I'd rather handle rattlesnakes. I'd rather be eaten by ravenous wolves. I'd rather have Hannibal lecter remove my cranium and eat parts of my brain. I'd rather jump from plane with no chute. I'd rather be raped by 10 gorillas then watch 2 more seconds of this show. Why HBO would you unleash such evil upon this world?
mjktoys Is this a parody? I'd rather place my genitals on hot coals than watch another episode. They try to make what sounds like fake fan-boy chatter with girlish giggles all the while not having ANY insight to the show, the characters or even just the episode they "just" watched. A show like this done right is "The Talking Dead". Are these guys supposed to be a parody? Are they doing this for free? Whatever portion of my cable bill/HBO Go account that goes to support this after show; can I please have it back? Watching GOT is a nicely chilled after dinner adult beverage then After The Thrones comes in like a shot of hot vomit. How in the hell is this still on? I can't say enough bad things about it. Mallory was palpable. Keep her and find some other knowledgeable or at least watchable talent. In one sentence: they are the cheese graters of my senses.
