That was an all timer episode of TV

anyone who contests this can't separate story from production, etc.

You don't have to like the way it plays out, but let's be clear on this point: this was filmed and displayed in a more epic manner than, say, LOTR. I'd venture to say at least the equal to Saving Private Ryan. More detailed practical visuals than any Avengers or MCU movie.

We're talking about an episode on TV (forget that it's a premium channel), and it matches or surpasses epic blockbuster movies known for their excesses. Go watch those links on the 'making of', the amount of work that went into this to make it real is unbelievable.
