After 6 weeks of spectacle, shocking twists, revelations, controversy, character turns, deaths, discourse, laughs and everything in between, HBO's cultural phenomenon known as "Game Of Thrones" has finally come to an end with the 73rd episode in the series titled "The Iron Throne." It's a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to a show that has meant so much to so many people. Naturally, not everyone was fully satisfied with the ending but luckily Will Mavity, Celia Schelekewey, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Celia Schelekewey & myself are here to give your our honest opinions and discuss in great detail the conclusion of what has been an epic 8 year journey. Valar Morghulis everyone! We will never see its like again, for now our watch has ended.

Tomorrow, the biggest television show of our lives will come to an end. The untitled series finale of HBO's cultural phenomenon "Game Of Thrones" will bring about the close of 73 episodes of epic storytelling (sometimes great, sometimes good and sometimes not so good...but we don't like to dwell on that) and also the end of an era for the communal viewing experience for some. At least, for me, it will be the end. I'm sure there will be other television shows in the future which will unite us around our HD television screens in large numbers with eager anticipation, waiting to see what happens on the latest episode. But for now, this is it for me. I don't normally tell personal stories here but this was one I felt I needed to get off my chest. In order to come to grips with the end of "Game Of Thrones" (I still haven't fully processed that this is the end), I thought it would be best to tell my story with the show, the book series and what it has all meant to me over the last near decade.

And you thought last week's episode was divisive? "Game Of Thrones" continues to divide its fandom with its final season and that did not stop with its final penultimate episode ever, titled "The Bells." Director Miguel Sapochnik certainly brought the spectacle that the show has now become known for but did David Benioff and D.B. Weiss deliver the storytelling that the show initially became known for? Did the final penultimate episode set everything up for the series finale? Listen to Will Mavity, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Celia Schelekewey & myself as we try to sort out our feelings and thoughts.

Hot off of one of the biggest episodes in "Game Of Thrones" history, Season 8 Episode 4 takes us back to the character driven, political intrigue that made the show initially famous with what is most likely the most divisive episode since Season 5 Episode 6 "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken." "The Last Of The Starks" gave Will Mavity, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks and myself plenty to talk about this week but what did we ultimately think of the episode? Tune in to find out.

It's hard to believe but with only 6 episodes, we are now a third of the way through this final season of "Game Of Thrones." After laying the foundation in the premiere episode titled "Winterfell," director David Nutter and writer Bryan Cogman decided to slow thins down this week and give us a very character heavy episode that reminded us why we love these characters so much before next week's epic battle which is sure to take a lot of them away from us. If you are a fan of how "Game Of Thrones" used to be before it became so huge in scale and yearn for more of those intimate character moments then "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" was for you. But what did we think of it? Join Jacey Aldredge, Josh Williams and I as we take a detailed dive into the episode scene by scene.

Jacey Aldredge, Josh Parham and I are back with the final two episodes of HBO's "True Detective" Season 3.

We answer all of this and more on our latest discussion.

Jacey Aldredge, Josh Parham and I are back with a new season of television to talk about with all of you on the Next Best Series Podcast starring Oscar winner (and soon to be nominee once again) Mahershala Ali in HBO's "True Detective." After the misfire that was "True Detective" Season 2 a few years ago, has writer/creator Nic Pizzolatto learned his lesson and brought us something that harkens back to the greatness of Season 1? We discuss this and more in our first of 3 recaps of HBO's hit series.

Some of our predictions turned out to be true but the Emmys still had plenty of surprises in store for us including one of the most memorable award show moments we've ever seen involving Oscar director Glen Weiss and his (now) fiancé Jan. All of this and more are discussed in this episode.

The Next Best Series Podcast is back to reviewing an actual television show for once instead of just talking about the Emmys (But don't worry, those episodes will be back soon) as myself, Michael Schwartz & Ryan C. Showers give our initial thoughts on HBO's new Miniseries "Sharp Objects" starring Amy Adams, Chris Messina and Patricia Clarkson & directed by Jean-Marc Vallee ("Demolition" and "Big Little Lies"). Ryan has read the book where Michael and I have not and all three of us have different reactions to the first half of the series so far. We will be back in 4 weeks to give our analysis of the show's final four episodes and thoughts on the series as a whole.
