Game of Thrones Season 8: Go Inside Episode 5

This week’s episode of Game of Thrones had everything that makes a television show great — fire, explosions, deaths, and surprises. Though the penultimate episode has some fans scratching their heads, there’s no denying the episode was expertly shot and edited to perfection.
