Fans of the series are not shy in voicing their dissatisfaction of the final season.
British actress Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, and her “Game of Thrones” castmates have won numerous awards over the eight seasons.
But its legacy is under threat from an increasingly vocal section of fans furious over what they consider poor writing in the shortened final two seasons, after the script had moved beyond the source novels by American writer George R.R. Martin. “Turning one of the top two heroes in the game into a villain is something that you have to really set up straight … to have the fan base just go along with it,” said entertainment host A. Ron Hubbard on his top-rated “Game of Thrones: The Podcast.
More than 100,000 people voted on the Internet Movie Database to give season eight’s penultimate episode 6.1 out of 10, a harsh rating for a show that had never rated lower than 8.1 in previous seasons. The proof of this can be found in the “Game of Thrones” audience figures, which hit a record 12.5 million live US viewers for the most recent episode – with a further six million watching later.
