For me, the best episode of GoT.
20 June 2016 | by pepesmith-50899See all my reviews

I've even seen episodes like Rains of Castamere, Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards. Although for me, they are very close to be the best, I am just want to be honest with myself. This episode ain't even one of the top episodes but this gave me one of the breathtaking moments I'd experienced. It keeps you on edge of your seat. I even clapped on some moments on this episode and also after it ended.

It shows the best battles and the outstanding direction by Neil Marshall. This episode is very underrated for me. But all of us have different taste and opinions so we and the best thing to do is enjoy this very amazing show.
