The way GoT got is indefensible. The writing got so, so bad and it severely damaged the franchise. It's just... shit.
You know what's interesting? When GoT went downhill at season 6 or whatever, i still thought that they could turn it around (lol) and even if they didn't, i could still come back and enjoy the good seasons.
But that's not true, at least for me. I never seen a show salting the earth so hard that i still never even thought about rewatching it. And i don't think i ever will.
I know, I was the same! It had been so strong and there were excellent episodes in S6, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. S7 felt rushed and wasn't amazing, but still better than most telly so I thought they were focusing on an epic S8. But then it was ABYSMAL and so bad I can't watch earlier seasons. The whole point was the story was going to have a beginning, middle and end, they're not stand alone seasons like true blood. But it was all for nothing
