An amazing show tainted by disappointing deviations from the source material and two absolutely awful last seasons. Bad last seasons will always ruin a show for me if the show is intended to portrait a continuous story with ever evolving characters and plot lines. The ending is as important as the beginning if you are trying to tell me a story. The ending of Game of Thrones was a joke, some of the worst writing I have ever witnessed on TV, the show was ruined and honestly at this point I just want to forget about it. The fans deserved better. George R R Martin deserved better. The people that worked on the show deserved better. It's what you get when a show is made hostage by two horrible writers that are in a hurry to ruin Star Wars next. I honestly wouldn't recommend this show to anyone anymore unless they don't mind getting massively disappointed with the last 20 episodes or so.
If you enjoyed the finale, power to you, but this is my opinion. Game of Thrones is a show I don't intend to watch ever again. Hopefully HBO wont ruin the prequels/spin-offs although I don't think I care anymore.
After reviewing the 8 seasons individually and averaging my personal scores it gets a 7.4 out of 10 from me, it's a shame because the first four seasons were close to being perfect.
