A great love and a great disappointment For years I was a big denier of Game of Thrones. I watched it for the first time during quarantine, after years of brainwashing from those around me. I can say that I fell in love with it, especially until the 5th cycle. And not to hide, while I had no idea what impact it had for so many years, I fell in love with the character of Daenerys or Khaleesi if you prefer. It happened so normally that when I decided to see it again in the last few days, I felt exactly the same. And to end up with such a scenario disappointment. A real mess! In conclusion, the series until the 5th season is definitely for a 10/10, in terms of criticism. But beyond that, without the support of books, quality is constantly declining. Probably, after 50 episodes of the first cycles, at least thirty more were needed to complete its story correctly, or maybe more. This never happened and it seems that it has damaged the series in the end and possibly its backwardness. Because, even if we accept that the final ending of the characters is the one that George R. R. Martin will show in the last books that have not been released, the way to reach this end was completely wrong and outrageous. For the 6th season I would score a total of 8/10, for the 7th hardly a 6/10 or at most 7/10. Finally, the tragic 8th season with what happened does not pass the base, so I would indulgently put a 4/10, but I think is lower. The downfall of the story of Knight King and especially Daenerys, condemns the 8th season to a low and unacceptable score for such a TV project.I believe that the series should have stopped in the 5th cycle and should not have moved beyond the books. The series eventually fell victim to its own success. Mainly for the first five cycles I will give a general score of 8/10.
