I have a friend watching GOT for the first time and they just finished the 5th season. I told them that the end of Season 6 might be the two best episodes in HBO history.

How did they take such a revolutionary TV series and burn it to the ground?

House of Dragon will hopefully continue to be great because this universe can be HBOs money market for a long time with Aegons Conquest, Roberts Rebellion, Dunk and Egg, etc

First four seasons are verbatim the books. Not only that but the absolutely brilliant dialogue was just copied and pasted from the books as well. Once they deviated from GRRM it was a dip in quality but still the best show on TV. Showrunners ego grew and began to believe their own hype. Signed on to multiple projects like Star Wars, and straight up half assed the last 2 seasons. In the process their hack writing was fully exposed. That’s really all there is to why the show fell apart.

Still haven’t started hotd. GoT left such a shite taste in my mouth that I just don’t care. It can be fantastic but the Targs were never my favorite, I’m not a massive prequel fan to begin with, and kinda know where it all goes anyway.

To those who enjoy it you’re better and less vindictive than I am
