What's your unpopular Game of Thrones [Show] opinion? (feddit.uk)

I'll get us started...

I don't like the show's version of the Blackfish. Not to say I dislike the performance at all...but I feel like the show writers tried to build the Blackfish up at the expense of Edmure and that really rubs me the wrong way.

I watch the first couple seasons or so and couldn't stand it.

It was just like Lost which had ended a couple years earlier. I saw the writing on the wall early on it when it kept on introducing new characters and then killing them off rendering their stories meaningless.

All the gore and soft core porn was like jingling keys in front of a baby. I love porn and blood doesn't offend me, but I found it in extremely poor taste. Like they went through every episode in post production asking themselves where can we shamelessly add boobs to appease fans. If I want porn I'll go to porn hub thanks.

My feelings were vindicated by the last season. Told you so.

Huh, the season 1 "sexposition" complaint is legit. But out of 11 major character, the show/books kill off 3 in first 6 seasons/5 novels. 2 more die in the second to last episode of the show. The first 3 deaths push the plot forward in meaningful ways. I'm thinking I disagree.
