As someone who doesn't watch the show, I find it very satisfying that the final season turned out to be shit.

It's literally the best I could've hoped for, because a bad and disappointing ending all but confirms I won't have people recommending it to me in the future. It can die, and I can move on to the next big show I won't be watching because I'm instead watching some anime from the 90s and also a B-tier show everyone else moved on from a few years ago.

One of my oldest friends would not stop trying to get me to watch Game of Thrones. I read the first three books when I was in high school, before book 4 came out, so ~2003ish? And I burned out on them because every character I gave a crap about died. Like, when Ned Stark died, that was out of left field. When Robb Stark died, it was "Ok, I get it, you just kill errybody". Anyway, this guy kept trying to get me to watch GOT, even though I was so over it.... and then the ending he insisted he would be worth it was a damp fart.
I haven't heard about how I should watch it in like six months. It's great.
