Eltharion21 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 60% TOMATOMETER Critic Ratings: 11 32% AUDIENCE SCORE User Ratings: 12859 11 Critics or 13000 audience scores, I daresay latter is more representative of the quality in Season 8.

SeanF Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 32% is pretty dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a final season of any other show been that low after what came before was a lot higher. I'd bet on How I Met Your Mother but that started sliding a few years before the final season. Although the final season was by far the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the story-telling took a nosedive in Season 7, even if the Season contained some outstanding scenes, like the attack on the loot train. The problems that had been building just overwhelmed the story in Season 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that despite 5, 6 and 7 being awful, they still got generally good reviews. It wasn't until 8 that even the people who ignored the problems finally saw through it all. That's what I meant by 8 being the point where the ratings and reviews were really low compared to what came before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to 56% now. 7 out of 13 critics rated it Rotten. Critics were not as hostile as the fandom, but that's still quite poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rotten Tomatoes world, obviously. The lowest score from any episode before the last season was Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken at 54%, what with the terrible fight scene with the Sand Snakes and Sansa marrying Ramsay.

Feologild Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I just watched season 8 and honestly i did not think it was that bad, i found it to be rushed but its not even close in being as bad as some people claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The critics always know better than the fans. If you don't believe me, just ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's stuff like Top Gun or The Notebook. There's a large discrepancy between critic and viewer approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Vader Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The last season of True Blood was almost as bad as GoT season 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Dexter basically had the same exact trajectory. 4 very strong seasons. Some fans debate whether the 1st (purists) or 4th (casuals) were better. Nosedived at season 5 with terrible follow through. Then we’re generic and middling with some bright spots over the next two seasons. Then came to the inevitable anticlimactic conclusion when the remaining holdovers realized the show was no longer the one they started out with. Both shows were garbage for a long time but it took knowing you weren’t getting the ending they thought to make people accept it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
