Don't listen to any 1/10 reviews Any of those reviews will be from people spewing their anger over the fact that the ending wasn't what THEY wanted it to be, which to me is incredibly immature and childish. Could the ending have been better? Absolutely. The last two seasons are incredibly rushed, and as a result the conclusions don't have the clarity they should. However, if you think about it, the ending is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, and it certainly doesn't ruin the series. If anything it just proves that the journey is better than the end. The show as a whole is fantastic. It's just that the last two seasons weren't up to par with the rest because the source material from GRRM wasn't there since the books are still being written. If you're willing to accept that going in, you'll definitely enjoy this show. One of the best fantasy TV series out there, you won't find better.
