You know what? the painted background looks more real than CGI. This first episode looks absolutely stunning!

[NotEnoughAttention]

The Helaena wall paintings are such a cool detail.

You can tell in his acting just how much fun Tom-Glynn Carney is having playing Aegon, and it really translates (for me anyway) into the audience having a good time watching him 👏👏

The fact that they go on and on about a sewer set design is exactly what makes this show special!

[Divine_Chareka]

What a brutal first episode, love the BTS work on this show. They stepped up their game this season!

[Mordred]

this feels like a 20-minute video of artist highlights and i'm loving it

[tyafasxilo]

I had no idea so much details and actual plans and art went into the sets I will forever look into the show in more awe than before. Absolutely amazing

[mydreaminorbit]

The logistical factors behind the making of a show of this scale are massive. That sewer set alone was a huge undertaking. This is a well oiled machine given the work loads of the cast and crew.

Love seeing the BTS content. Just goes to show how epic this show is.

[justinehercthehuman]

I love these behind the scenes videos that don't just have the actors talk but the artists behind the props and sets and everything that made the show possible.

[Eddy]

Even though it was a largely expository episode with a lot of table setting, it was a wild ride. HOTD is back and better than ever.

[amarbyrd]

All the set dressing and production values are, to quote Olivia Cole, "stunning"

[samuelleask]

A round of applause to the amazing production design team

[ryanbaker]

Seeing Witerfell, The Wall and hearing that beautiful music really hit hard and makes me sad knowing what happened in the final season

[AllTheArtsy]

i didnt notice Helaenas room changes at all lol

[trashnimhassan]

Props to the crew for such hard work! And to HBO for showing the creative work behind all the magic! My favourite thing is to watch how these masterminds work behind the camera 🙌🏻

[KillerTacos]

The attention to detail and the love for genuine craftsmanship is so deeply appreciated, I really can't express it enough! Thank you guys

[hussey]

God, the amount of work behind the scenes is crazy. Some jaw dropping sets. Truly amazing 👏🏽 🙌🏽

[EldenThrone]

Just goes to show how epic this show is.
