re: Just Finished Binging All 8 Seasons of Game of Thrones

Well, I guess I should have said I didn’t have time to dwell on how I thought the story and characters should arc. I just watched and enjoyed.

I mean I’m happy for you, but needing to ignore the story and characters in order to enjoy the show or feel satisfied with it, means it’s a poor show (ending is more accurate, but you get the point

And we’re not exactly talking about Avatar or something where the spectacle is the point. The shows entire popularity and premise is built on the lore, plot, and character development, regardless of binging or not binging. The big set pieces set it apart as a TV show, but that is not what made the show great

so again, glad you were able to enjoy it on your rewatch, but saying it’s way better when you ignore everything that made people love it in the first place, isn’t exactly valuable or insightful discourse here
