Person Asks “What TV Show Was Amazing At First But Became Unwatchable For You Later On?”, And 30 Folks Deliver

Same here. Glenn's death HURT!! I was done after that

That's when we stopped watching.

reminds me of what hat i read yesterday on a video about stranger things. it was that because of people being super sensitive about ki l l Ing off their favourite characters in a show, no one gets good tv shows anymore xD

Me too, that was too cruel.

I'm not a fan of Daenerys but the whole last season sucked bad. People aren't mad that they made her a villain, they're mad that they botched it. The writing the whole season was awful and they screwed up the plot, the characters, and the character development because they were rushing to go work on their side project instead. There's a difference between an upsetting ending and an ending that's upsetting because it's bad. I would have loved to see the villian arc they were setting up work out, but this was not it. They needed way more time to get her to that point (they could have had four more seasons, but they chose not to), and the way they did it, they just went straight to the end. It's not a slow descent into madness, she just snaps all of a sudden. Yeah they're was foreshadowing and setup, but not enough that you'd think she'd start grilling thousands of people when she'd been acting pretty sane. It's just lazy and it doesn't work at all.

I always think it’s a bad idea to name a child after your favourite character in a television series or book until said book or series has been fully completed. There’s probably quite a few parents who regret naming their child Khaleesi or Danaerys.

Nah, most fans are pissed because pacing went out the window for the last two series.

I don't mind the outcome, I didn't like how it happened so suddenly. They were snailpaced with it for so long then all of a sudden it's completely different because they had to wrap it up quick.

My issues were with the massive detours from brilliant storylines like the Martells and Jaime’s growth and relationship with Brienne. The show shot itself in the foot by trying to push characters that didn’t need to be pushed and storylines that weren’t up to par for what was already in print.

Don't know about others, but my problem was with who ended up as king

I also think it didn't help with casting Emilia Clarke. She's a great actress and appears to be such a sweetheart in real life and so there's the problem. That came over on screen too much. She was just too....nice. Much better to have cast an actress that was a bit ambiguous or very serious. Emilia is full of fun and smiles and she just exudes that. Very difficult to suppress that on screen. She tried but I think she was miscast.

Deanerys going crazy wasn't the problem of season 8th. It was terrible, lazy writing of ALL THE CHARACTERS. I never liked nor cared for her story line. But they messed up all the rest and at the end I wished for dead walkers to win so that something that actually makes sense happens. At the end I hated all the characters I once loved and actually felt sorry for Cersei .^.'''' I don't think that's what the show runners wanted. There's a meme about "GOT ending being Catelyn's wet dream" and I can't stop laughting about how accurate it is.

People get very angry when characters don’t live up to the image they created in their head.

Not really, well at least for me that wasn't the issue. I like the idea of Daenerys going mad like her father, what bothered me was this whole prophecy of Jon Snow not being fleshed out and Arya being the one to kill the ice king, which for me came out of nowhere. Like yeah she's a bad a*s, but it still should have been Jon. ALSO having the whole kingslanding battle at the end instead of dealing with kingslanding first then the white walkers was also another mistake. Honestly, it was just the execution of everything that was terrible. It all felt so fast paced and they did not give the story the time it needed for Dany to go mad nor for everything else to happen as it should have. They could have easily done another season or two to better flesh everything out and not have it feel so rushed.

As GRR Martin said himself - if you think this has a happy ending you were not paying attention

Correct. And the show was famous and praised for not giving the audience what it expects and kill of characters, then same people complain when it ends in a way the they did not expect!

If you could see anything. My screen was just black

(2/2) There were signs in the earlier seasons that Daenerys was not the nice liberating queen people wanted her to be (espescially those who named their daughters Khaleesi). Ser Jorah died happily, having saved his queen's life (before she was going mad), Jamie's story was sad but predictable (sorry for Brienne, but she survived), and so on. Only Bran was a bit wasted, his character could/should have been more important. And: Episode 69 (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) which takes place in the night before the Battle of Winterfell, is probably the best episode of any TV series ever done. The whole atmosphere and tension is fantastic. And why? Because they took the time that was needed for the story to create atmosphere, tension and emotions.

OMG YES

To be fair, a lot of het relationships there also seemed forced. When characters get paired up just for the sake of making another couple, it always feel weird.

You really had to mention the LGBTQ relationships specifically when alllll the relationships on that show are forced as shít.

Call me something unpleasant, but I don't understand what the fuss is about. The show could have been very interesting indeed and probably shouldn't have been cancelled, but Fillion was awful. He's basically playing himself, I guess - childish, self-absorbed, petty man. It is ok-ish in Castle, but how can such a man inspire such undying loyalty as captain Mal, I really don't understand.

Writers strike was season 2 iirc. Either way they'd an amazing first season then started to go off the rails in 2. 3 and 4 were close to unwatchable except at that stage I'd invested too much time not to finish

Like the episode they stole the Fatso Burger clown!!? Bob arguing with the clown (Fez)was hilarious!! Red's reaction vs Kitty's!! 🤣🤣

Not every single one. Donna and Eric never dated any of the others.

Friends didnt have every possible dating combo 🤔
