I remember the Christmas before Season 8 premiered I went shopping at the mall by my place. Bookstores, Hot Topics, Sears, Candleshops, coffee places, literally any store that could sell something with the GoT logo would. The next Christmas, nothing. It was insane to me. The only thing I saw was at a Target. It was a sock of the month calander or something.
The show left billions on the table in merch sales.
I would love to see a documentary made about just how insane this fall of a franchise was
Sounds like a good way for HBO to recoup some of their lost revenue. They love doing documentaries about this kind of stuff, except this time it’d be about themselves.

Big same.
The final season of Game of Thrones was absolute dog shit, but the commentary about the final season of Game of Thrones was pretty fuckin' awesome.
I mean when you think about it we had hot takes from every perspective, we had run of the mill folks saying "I just didn't like it, and here's why," we had smart folks saying "Here are the dozen (or whatever) reasons why the final season of GoT failed," and we had everything in between.
I'm not saying it was worth it, but I am saying that I've rewatched Lindsey Ellis' takes on season 8 at least three times, along with at least a dozen hours of commentary from other YouTubers.
Anyway, I too would love to see a documentary about the logistical problems created by season 8.
"What the fuck do we do with five thousand gallons of Game of Thrones themed milk? It won't last!!"
