Makes one almost long for the days of Three Networks And Nothing But.
I saw. Geez, Buzzfeed, there are other shows out there!

Same here, I never did get into GOT and don't understand what the fuss is about. Westeros resembles Britain and it feels like a very violent and pornographic YA fantasy story, plus it seems as though most of the characters are assholes. I suppose it gets lots of attention since it's so sexy and violent, but that doesn't make it good. I much prefer LoTR and Harry Potter when it comes to fantasy.

Another member of the anti-GOT camp. At least here, you can vent your hate, and no one is going to attack you for it. I woudn't dare do so on Buzzfeed, I don't want to get beaten up.

I don't get it, sexy and violence doesn't make a show better. Has society in general changed, that now, anything that isn't as full on and extreme with sex and violence is laughed at?
I don't get the hype, and why is Game of Thrones rising in ratings every season. All I hear is how it is the most popular show of this decade, and the only show on television to rise in viewers. How are people being sucked into this show?
It makes me worried for the kids under the age of 16 finding these shows and streaming shows and this being exposed to them in this generation. But with how big technology is these days, you know the iGeneration are going to find it.
The series finale airs May 19th for Game of Thrones (YAY, but not the end of this with those spin-offs, *sigh*). I wonder how big a hit it will give to Charmed and Supergirl which airs their finales the same night.

I have no idea.
If GOT wasn't on HBO, it would streamed. There's no escape.

Great, I'm really happy that it ends now. Even Sky showed all seasons again but I didn't watch at all. No fun!!

At a restaurant today, I admitted that I didn't like GOT. They looked at me like I'd grown a second head.
Seriously, I don't get it

Maybe they thought it strange you didn't like GOT'S because a lot of people out there do being it has such a huge fan base then.
Of course not anyone views the same TV programmes as others but people should respect what their fellow men and women watch though obviously.

Yeah, that's no doubt it. I was the odd man out.
They kept trying to convince me how great GOT is. Didn't work.

I don't like Game of Thrones either, and I have watched all the episodes of season 1 and the first three of Season 2... It's a series I want to like (because of the medieval fantasy setting), but it's just so dark and depressing, and filled with sex and violence. In every single episode. It gets tiring after a while; people keep saying it's realistic, but I don't get how explicit violence and sex scene are supposed to make a show better... I know a lot of people were disappointed with the last season, but some of the problems they had (poor writing of female characters and POC) were always there, right from the beginning... Thank goodness it's over!

Of course, this thing cleaned up at the Emmys

But not as much as Fleabag who won more awards than that so GOT's didn't get their clean sweep like last year.

There's hope for humanity yet.
What's Fleabag?

Fleabag was a two series British comedy show that ended April this year based on a comedian's one woman set which was shown on BBC2 then.
