I tried to rewatch the show for the first time last month since the show ended. I told myself that it couldn't have been so bad after it began to increasingly deviate from the books, that I was just upset about it at the time.

Nope. I barely made it through S5 and while S6 had its moments, I realized I was only watching for a couple great moments instead of for the sake of watching it. I just wasn't enjoying it, so I stopped. In earlier seasons, epic moments like these were everywhere. It's no wonder the show alone built such a large fanbase early on

To be fair, the books got increasingly boring as well. I couldn't even finish the fourth one and just gave up there

George R. R. Martin, the man behind Game of Thrones, has gotten a lot of flak from fans for being slow to finish the book series that the hit HBO show is based on, A Song of Ice and Fire. George has been working for three years on The Winds of Winter, the forthcoming sixth installment of the planned seven-part series, and there is no release date in sight.

That was over 10 years ago, I don't think he's gonna finish 😅
