Great shows don’t crap the bed 85-90% of the way through. They might have an occasional miss toward the end, or there might not be a good way to end them, but they don’t pivot (for the worse) in quality, scope, complexity, and nuance throughout the entire final season.
GoT isn’t a great show. It could’ve been top 10 of all time, but after this season it’s barely in the top 50.
