S6E10 is the GOAT episode to me. Perfection from start to finish and connected these stories in this huge world flawlessly
Who directed that episode? The cinematography too looks amazing compared to the shyt I saw in S8E4.
Did Season 8 of Game of Thrones ruin the series for you?

The negative comments for the final seasons of "The Wire" and "The Sopranos" is not remotely in the same stratosphere of what we're experiencing with "GOT". It's not even on the same planet.
As far as your "check" comments....that's exactly how this season was written. Checking off boxes without giving a fukk about how they actually got to those things.

Unless the series finale is the single greatest episode of TV in history....of course it ruined the series. How could it not?
People in here talking about "well yeah....I mean, the last 2 seasons were trash but it's still top 5". HOW SWAY?
What other show had 2 bad seasons in a row this late in the game, and is still considered top 5? What other show had a final season this universally panned by critics and fans alike....and is still considered GOAT material?
shyt is crazy talk.
It seems like people don't want to admit they wasted 8 years of their life investing in this series, only for the writers to completely fukk it up at the finish line. It's a bitter pill to swallow but let's keep it real here. I haven't seen a show fall off this hard, this abruptly since "Dexter".

Season 6 is getting underrated/overlooked now, definitely a top 3 season for me with some of the best episodes in the entire series.. The door and the last episode were masterpieces..

Nah no need to be that petty
It was an amazing run and writing aside the spectacle and production value in s8 is still great entertainment
The "smh @ what D&D did to dany" is for your logicbrain in the aftermath days
I'm the moment I was like "
Khaleesi......burn them!! Burn them all!!!!!"

First:
Social Media wasn't popping then so no one could complain and bytch over small things like Tony in a coma or Marlo getting locked up...
Second:
Not everyone had HBO then...less folks to cause a shyt storm....
Omar getting popped today in 2019 would have people Boycotting the Wire because "there is no way a little kid could do that!"
20 year old adhd kids on Reddit and Twitter are causing this drama...
Eh. The show? Partially. But they’re still following GRRM’s basic outline of what’ll happen. So I’m just treating the last few seasons as such. A general outline of the real story that has yet to release. Not taking it too seriously.
I'm not talking about social media. You can completely remove social media from the equation and look at critical acclaim.
"GOT" season 8 is getting killed by critics. "The Wire" season 5 and "The Sopranos" season 6 were still critically acclaimed.
at the last line. These last 13 episodes were written for those types of people. Long time fans are the ones complaining.I mean....the cast of the show is complaining about how disappointing season 8 is. But nah, it's not a big deal. Just some internet drama.
And you comparing Marlo getting locked up or Omar getting shot to how poorly written season 8 has been is ridiculous. Again, it's not even on the same planet.
Lastly, I hate to keep bringing this up but "Breaking Bad" ended well into the social media era and received none of this negative attention. So
at acting like this is just how things go.At some point you cats gotta admit the problem is "GOT", not the people criticizing it.

No, the previous seasons are too good to let one rushed season fukk it up.

Ruining a series and not having it be objectively top 5 are different. That's your take, not sure why you feel the need to think others are rationalizing their feelings. Furthermore season 7 was a huge falloff in quality but didn't just RIP apart what was building in the other seasons, it built upon it, albeit quickly. They then went to season 8 running thru checkpoints while also tearing apart everything prior to it. I can easily enjoy seasons 1-6, even 7, and not feel like they was ruined. Do we have a mass of people who will still put it to 5? Who knows, but it will still make plenty of people's subjective top 5 so stop acting like everyone has to see it your way or just be trying to save face.

Yup it’s like the mass effect series.
If a series was, objectively, gunning for a top 5 spot and now it's not....how did it not ruin it?
If you can enjoy seasons 1-6 and parts of 7....then that's not the series.
So again....how did it not ruin the series? It doesn't mean you'll never watch it again. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy any part of it.
It means the series as a whole has been compromised.
And I'm not talking about it being in people's top 5 in general....I'm talking about people saying it had two bad seasons....but it's still top 5. There's no precedent for that in TV history. The closest to that would be "The Wire" which had a so-so season 5 but the fall off was nowhere near "GOT".

This thread is asking to individuals, so there's that, subjective opinion
No series guns for top 5 because top 5 varies, people annoint it. Almost every "top" show I can think of happened organically. Secondly GOT wasnt gunning for top 5, it hit a point where that's what the masses were saying it was/could be. The show took off to heights they didn't imagine. Westworld was a show HBO launched gunning for the top, GOT was a popular book series but not the phenomena the show made it
Lastly, a lot of people don't feel the whole series is ruined due to a bad ending.
So yea, when TV guide sits down to make 2020 top 5, it may not be there, but for a lot of individuals it will be

ruin the series? not at all. season 8 isn't even as bad as ppl are making it out to be imo. i've enjoyed the battles and fighting. no doubt there's a drop off in quality season 7 and 8 (so far) but hard to have several classic seasons with any show.
overall, as of right now, i would give it a A-/B+. seasons 1-6 were top notch and classics.
