Was great until end of Season 5.

Sure. It's just a thread started by a guy who hasn't watched the show. I just see it as a courtesy to not talk about the ending unless they state they don't care.
Nobody has spoiled the ufos and aliens from the final season, so he still has that to look forward to.

don’t think anyone can be held responsible for spoilers for the original GOT.
Discussion of everything has to be fair game by now. If you haven’t seen it, you go on the internet and message boards at your own peril.
That's a fricking stupid thing to say in a thread started by someone asking about the show who's never seen it. Any spoiler talk in this thread is high-level assholery at its finest.

Another FYI too, I FINALLY finished watching. As expected it was really good, and while the ending wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, I still wasn't very satisfied with how it ended. Seemed like with it being a 6 episode final season, everything seemed rushed. They has some scenes and moments that I enjoyed watching.
I think more than one of you fellow posters brought up this point, but it was mentioned to just watch the first 6 seasons and not really worry about the last 2, which I agreed with. First 6 seasons were as good a TV show you can ever see, in particular the first 4 seasons. I did really like the season finale of the 6th season though. Season 7 wasn't as good as the others but thought it was still decent. 8 had some decent scenes, the entire season and finale just fell flat.
Still 100% enjoyed watching and was glad I was able to finally witness it. The score, plot (for the majority of it), and the cinematography was amazing, and I was surprised how many good acting performances there were in the show for some reason. Davos, Jamie, Tywin, and the Hound for example.

I've never seen Game of Thrones before, but after years of everyone convincing me to watch it, I'll finally start to do so probably tonight. It's obviously considered one of the greatest shows of all time. I just want to hear your thoughts and opinions on how good you think it is, how bad the ending was, etc. Or anything else I should expect watching it.
Other than some character names and who they look like, and maybe the main plot of the whole show, I'm very unfamiliar with it.
What a ride you're about to have. You can argue season 1-6 is the greatest show of all time or one of the greatest.
Never in history has a show nosedived after that for the final 2 seasons. The final season and the series finale was so bad you cannot put GOT in the greatest of all time category anymore. It's still one of best shows I've ever watched but lost that right after the final 2 seasons. You still need to watch the whole thing thru and will be happy you did.

I'm glad you finally watched it.
You're summary about the seasons are pretty par for the course on this board. Some of the episodes in the later seasons were awesome.
The story and how it ended definitely went off the rails though.
You can watch the actors at the table reads in the last season on youtube and see their disdain for how things were ending.
I hope it interested you enough to watch the spinoffs and you can report back with your thoughts on those too.

Bran and Arya were the only two characters/actors that were big misses to me.

Yep, agreed. I don't think we're gonna see those 2 actors in many things in the future

I didn't like Sansa's acting too much either, nor the Baratheon children.
I will watch the spinoffs at some point, especially Knight of the Seven Kingdoms since it's just one season.

Joffery was great at making you hate him.
Knight of the Seven is very easy to watch. The episodes are mostly under 30 minutes, and only 6 of them.
House of the Dragon is cool, some you'll like and some you'll hate. You do get to see lots of different dragons. You'll go back and forth with who you root for.
