Yep, Game of Thrones. People get hung up on the hellishly stupid last season, but we spent the better part of a decade talking about it around the water cooler. The world was sucked into it.
I feel like that’s a bit of a cop out to say “it was good except for the last season”. That statement is true, much of GOT of absolutely S-tier stuff, but the last season was also part of the show. That’s like saying “that meal I was the best I ever had”, and when your friend asks “what about the chef’s eccentric decision to put dog feces on the potatoes?”, you replying “oh don’t get hung up on that, it was the best meal I had, but you have ignore that part”, if it was on the plate, it was on the plate.
I adore the first few seasons of Community, but would never in a million years (like Game of Thrones) say it’s the best show I’ve ever seen because they both have garbage parts, that as unfortunate as it is, are legitimate parts of each of them.
If half of the seasons of a series are bad, and the last one is the worst in TV history it can’t be a good series. The first few seasons can’t rescue that Trainwreck
The first 4 seasons of GOT are some of the best in TV history. Seasons 5-6 are good, but that’s when some of the tropes start to get overplayed and you see corners being cut. I should have stopped then, but I still had hope that they would rescue it. Nope.
the problem I have is that while I agree seasons 1-4 were brilliant, I simply can’t watch them again because of how it ended. simply knowing how bad it became is enough to tarnish those seasons because the things they were setting up, simply didn’t matter. like at all
If you have never watched it, watch s1-4, and tip your toe in s5-6, dont go any further.
I just really hate knowing that I won’t have a proper ending or I’ll have to make one up myself. I’m not sure investing my time in something like that is worth it.
It probably isn’t. Which is such a shame because you’re gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.
Yeah… I’d say watch it and just enjoy the first 3–5 seasons which contain arguably some of the best television ever made. Things start to do downhill as the writes had less and less source material to work off of, but season 6 is ok. Season 7 I think is bad. It’s mostly just setup for the last season which failed miserably, and I think it would have been good had they managed to pull through with 8. Idk. Maybe just make up your own ending after watching the first 6–7 seasons.

Haven’t watched GOT. The last season is what’s been keeping me from watching it.
The first four seasons are the best thing that has ever been on TV.
Season 5-6 are like… They lost track of what made it great and went for spectacle, it was good if that’s what you are into.
Season 7 was bad.
Season 8 was actually offensive. It’s not just a meme that it made everything that came before worse.
