Same here just finished it a few weeks ago.
I never read the books but for my money I thought the last season was really good. It maybe didnt end the way I wanted it to but it wasnt a bad ending by any means.
I have also never read the books but that last season throws every character development out the window in a show all about characters and just rushes through scenes ignoring any build up to conclude to whatever shit the writers thought no one would ever guess because it was more important for them to not be guessed than to make it make sense.
It is objectively a horrible season, doubly so in contrast to the first one.
I believe that the "I never read the books" part is a major factor here.
Very possibly so. I'm also not a huge believer in the sanctity of lore when you are adapting something to a different medium. IE, didnt miss Tom Bombadil in the Lord if the Rings movies so I'm pretty easy going as long as the adaptation is good in its own right.
Tap for spoiler
But seriously though, fuck Bran. Terrible character, just completely uninteresting and ~~lame~~ uncool from the word go. Gets Hodor killed, somehow through unexplained time travel causes Hodor's "hodor" problem. A girl takes him all the way through the frozen north just for him to say, bye now! Trash character. Ser Davos should have been King at the end.Also haven't read the books, but personally I felt that introducing teleportation in the last few seasons was certainly a choice
The show runners were in a rush to finish up and get to their next project (which never ended up happening). That, and the fact they ran out of source material to pull from is thought to be why the quality of the show dropped so much.
Yeah, I know. I was a fan of the show unfortunately.
I even went back a few years later and rewatched, despite all the bullshit. Still hate the last few seasons, not even just 8.
