Many people reviewing this title are commenting on the lack of highlights and glamorous interviews of any of the main cast and crew, but it seems more raw and more realistic view of the huge well-oiled machine that comprises a show like this - the actors are actually an incredibly small part of the whole shebang.
It was cool to see the throwbacks to the first season table read juxtaposed with the final season's and the reactions (which should've highlighted a couple more of the plot points rather than the 2 or 3 big ones).
I'm glad some of the behind-the-scenes crew got some of the spotlight i.e. director David Nutter (visibly fighting pain from his back issues - guy is a damn trooper), the fight choreographers, makeup artists, stuntmen, the "snow guy", and the fiery Belfast location manager...but fan favorite extra Andrew McClay might be the real star of this documentary...it's amazing to see such a high-spirit even in the relatively small but important part he plays in the show - even serving as a mentor to the other extras.
Reason for the 7/10 - it runs a bit long, suffers from some amateur editing and filming, and some of the music choices are really strange...but to each their own! A nice bow-tie on the series, even if Season 8 wasn't what we all expected, the dedication and hard work is highly appreciated, and should be viewed by even those who are dismissing it due to a faulty script.
