It did though, that show's legacy died and along with it millions of revenue.

Still angry.

They’re still making offshoots though and seem decently popular. I won’t watch them though.

They're fine, but the sheer cultural phenomenon that GoT was is something I can't say I've ever seen before, at least in my lifetime. Everyone watched it - Talked about it - Everywhere.

And then S8 happened, and it just stopped immediately. The entire public conscience just deleted it from memory.

Never seen anything like it. Probably never will again.

Try going to r/nath (or r/naath). People there fiercely defend s08 to their last breath. Some of them even call it the best ending in the history of television.
