Just struggled to get my hands on season 6 and 7 too long break between watching the follow up seasons you loose a bit of previous season. But I will catch up.

A shame it's not as up to date speed wise as G.o.T. with distribution. (No doubt the U.S. pirates are using that as an excuse to copy the HBO feeds.)
