They also apparently forgot what the map looks like as they just change the locations of places on a whim. As a Star Wars fan as well I can tell the direction Disney is going to take its franchise based on how horribly the quality degraded in this series when they needed to start creating original content and didn’t have the books to go off of. This last season is absolutely abysmal, seriously. Anyone that thinks this new season is good really isn’t paying attention at all and is probably watching it in a bar with their friends shouting anytime someone pulls out a sword. Expand

George R.R. Martin's rolling in his grave, and he is not even dead, if you liked season 1-7 because of the story and acting, you won't like season 8 at all.. unless if you are superhero/action movies fan.. it won't matter then.. you gonna love it..

This is impossible to review as a complete series, easy to review as a single season. Nothing makes sense, entire armies, incompetently commanded as they are, just respawn between episodes, characters act completely contrary to the way the show has portrayed them for years, character arcs are ignored, bungled or usurped by other characters and the dialog sounds as if it's been written by an eight year old.

The first four seasons of this show is some of the best TV ever made. The last four are like the original show slowly drowning in plot holes, stupid fan service, breaking established rules of the fictional world, incomprehensible actions by the characters in it and everyone becoming stupid and/or mad in order to try and make the increasingly ridiculous scripts make sense.

I could list examples all day. Characters ruined or misunderstood, plot armor removing all tension, stupid lines, pointless shock value instead of good dialog. And particularly awful is the fact that the story contains several prophecies, which are all completely ignored. All that talk was just meaningless babble that you could have skipped as a viewer. And to be completely honest I don't like mystical prophecies in stories. I think they are a cheesy way of doing foreshadowing. Nevertheless they are foreshadowing, and ignoring them reverberates back on the entire narrative, making most of it completely pointless. There is emotion, unless you notice all the plot holes, in which case there is nothing, except perhaps the most pointless story ever told. And the writers of GoT are either too stupid to understand this or they didn't care that they wasted their audiences' time in all the episodes where they referenced these prophecies. And it is bad writing.

But it is so bad here that it almost requires a book-length treatment. But we don't need that. Hundreds of books about writing have already been written. Weiss and Benioff just haven't read any of them. Nothing that happened in the first seven seasons matters at all, because literally the only thought in the writers' heads is to "subvert" expectations, a euphemism for disjointed, crude and unprofessional writing. Whatever the audience expects, perhaps because it makes sense based on seven seasons of development, must not happen under any circumstances. Rather the absolute least likely thing, probably because it's stupid, has to happen instead. Subverted! Nanny nanny boo boo, you've been subverted by our genius, nihilist writing!

It's just too pathetic for words, and it is so bad that I can not recommend to anyone that they watch this TV show. Yes, the first four seasons are mostly brilliant, and all eight seasons look great, sound great are wonderfully cast and for the most part acted. But miraculously none of that matters now. You will be wasting your time if you watch this show, and you can look forward to absolutely no payoff on anything that you see and hear.

Season 8 episode 3: this is the day I fell out of love with game of thrones... Thank you D&D for turning it into utter **** Obviously seasons 5 and 6 were less good, but I forgave because mistakes happen... Season 7 Wight Hunt was ridiculous, and that's were I started to lose hope for a great ending. There is no rewatching value after season 8. Turning a 10/10 into 8 would still have been ok. How did you manage to make it a 0/10? Season 8 starting from episode 3 is simply the worst writting ever. Congrats D&D for ruining it all, I won't watch the prequels. Globally it is a 3, a show that gets worse and without an logical ending, a show you can watch for fun if you skip season 8 which is not even worth watching. Expand

The same can be said for JJ Abrams and the mess that is the new Star Wars trilogy. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. it seems that the writers, after years of hard and good work, got bored and wanted to go home to their families.
Years to construct the character of Daenerys who wants to free the poor and the defenseless and then make her become a crazy dictator without a real reason.
Tyrion should be the smartest of the kingdom and in the last season he doesn't embrace a right choice.
I can understand that John decides to kill Daenerys but not like that.
Really a pity, a conclusion unworthy of an otherwise excellent TV series.

Everything that happens in season 8 is actually pretty interesting and subversive, which I like. But they didn't give any of the plot threads enough time to adequately build and then resolve. Everything just happened all of a sudden with no build-up, no nuance, and no thought. Literally everyone wanted to do a longer season or more seasons except the showrunners. HBO wanted more seasons, the cast and crew wanted more seasons, George R.R. Martin wanted more seasons. But the showrunners selfishly didn't feel like it and they ruined the whole show just to serve themselves. Expand

The first four seasons would get a 10/10, but especially the last season is what I would call a complete disaster. It is an example for everything that should be avoided in story telling. It neglects the whole gore and throws it into a Star Wars setting. Story telling and character arcs are completely inconsistent and ignore all the mystery that previous seasons built up like it never happened. I regret having watched the last season in particular. It ruined the overall picture that GRRM defined so well. Expand

I watched all 8 seasons (but I only read one book, and that was complete torture to get through).
For 7 seasons nothing much happens in hindsight. It supposedly works towards a final battle and season 8 feels like someone hits fast forward and leaves you sitting there wondering why this series didn't just have two seasons and not waste your time with unnecessary character POVs.
Yes, the acting is good, a lot of good actors and actresses here, but darn is it ever tedious to watch!
