Game Of Thrones Season 8's fifth episode had left fans with mixed emotions. The episode packed some major character deaths but pulled back on making it raw enough to make it feel like it belongs to the same series. There was a lot of dragon fire and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) was aboard Drogon, all through the episode which means, technically this episode was a tough one for the makers. Even as fans are disappointed with the way the story has panned out, the episode's cinematography left the viewers floored by it. Laden with gorgeous long shots of King's Landing, the episode had everything going for it in the visuals department.

Also one of the scenes where Tyrion is seen entering the now torn-down gates of his former home, while fire rages on was a beautiful shot that had and clubbed with Peter Dinklage's evocative act, it was a stunner. Shots of debris falling while the people of King's Landing are running helter-skelter, captured the chaos well enough.
Several fans have taken to social media sharing their favorite scenes from the episode and are raving about the visual appeal of the episode. Game of Thrones 8 Episode 5: All the Major Deaths That Happened in the Bells Aka the Last War (SPOILER ALERT).

A show with cinematography, lighting, color grading, direction, and acting this good deserves a better script. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/1Ng8uy9GU0

Indeed, the show was visually captivating but crippling with disappointment with its script. The finale of the series is all set to air on May 20.
