Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Ruined a beautiful story
I have been watching GoT and reading George's wonderful books since 2012. I fell in love with the rich history, the characters, the world, and the stories. Ever since season 5 began, this show has rapidly gone downhill. Shock value took precedence over good storytelling, characters acted out of character, people could teleport, plots became boring or nonsensical, and past events and prophecies became useless or pointless. Now that we have reached the end, I am disappointed. This was my favorite show for years, but ever since the disastrous season 5, I have lost my faith a little more with each episode that aired. Now the end has come, and all of the beauty of the earlier seasons has gone out the window. The music and acting and cinematography - all lovely, as always. But the writing? The sudden descent of Daenerys into madness? The mad queen arc has been foreshadowed, yes, but it should have been done over a couple seasons, not a couple MINUTES. It feels like there was no point to Jon's resurrection or parentage, no consistency, no heart in this season. I am a diehard Sansa fan through and through, and I am happy she is queen in the north now, but that doesn't make up for everything. Poor Daenerys. So much character assassination. I wish it had been different.
