Bit of a shorter Topic episode this week as DL is heading across another pond for a 4 week holiday!

As you know, we love Game of Thrones on Podcast Assemble; DL will fight you if you say season 6 is anything but top tier TV! However with the spin-off House of the Dragon dropping on HBO soon, we thought it would be interesting to discuss a couple of series' which attempted to fill the GOT void... and failed. We'll be discussing why these shows were billed as being contenders and also, why they didn't quite live up to the billing. Did you like any of these shows? Or are there any shows we missed - to let us know find us on Instagram at @podcastassemble or [email protected]

We're also on Tik Tok now! Just search Podcast Assemble.

If you like what you're hearing we'd love it if you gave us a 5 star review... or not.. live your life and be happy.
