The intrigue, the tight writing, the cleverness, it was such a good show early on, and it really took its time, none of it feels rushed or fast. It's such a shame what happened in the final season; it didn't quite devalue the whole show, but it definitely did damage, like a book where you know the last chapter ends with "And Billy woke up, realizing his adventures in Zarhdod were all a dream."
I kind of wonder if we haven't seen the last two books in the series because GRRM is having to rewrite them from scratch. "Well clearly people didn't like MY ending, so I guess I'll try something else."

I keep wanting to rewatch it, but then I remember I’d have to watch the ending again and that really puts me off. It’s one of the few super big popular shows that I saw when it was coming out (I’m usually a few years late to the party) so I was just shocked at how bad an ending could be given the quality of even the previous season.
