Game of Thrones Ending Cost HBO Half of Its Adult Viewers
The conclusion of Game of Thrones resulted in HBO losing more than half of its adult audience, according to a recent review of television in 2020. After more than seven years on television, HBO's revolutionary fantasy series, Game of Thrones, came to an end in May 2019 after eight seasons. An analysis of the last year has revealed that the show's conclusion has heavily impacted HBO's viewership. A review of television networks in 2020, conducted by Variety, showed that over the course of the last year, HBO lost 51 percent of its adult audiences (ages 18-49). The significant drop in audience has been attributed to the conclusion of Game of Thrones, which has not yet seen a replacement. The show drew an increasingly large audience and broke numerous records, culminating in an average of approximately 12 million viewers by Season 8. |

The last season (or more) of Game of Thrones was the dumbest, laziest writing I've ever seen for a television program. And I've seen daytime soap operas....

Yup... same here. I wouldn't even waste the bandwidth required to download it via torrent.

My favorite character was The Hound. I was so ****ing hyped in season 6 when it turned out he really was alive. I had known it all along! And he's joining the Brotherhood and going north with Jon Snow. How epic is this gonna be! And it....just wasn't. I'm glad they brought him back but it just wasn't nearly as good as I hoped it would be. Much like the rest of the show. |

Damn, you guys are tripping. I still say GoT is one of the best (and one of my favorite) shows of all-time. A few shitty seasons hasn't changed much for me.
I'll also be excited as hell if Martin ever releases Winds. |

It was still good even though the final season or two sucked. It just kinda ruins it when you watch it again because you know it's leading up to a big nothing burger of an ending.

The show was probably always going to be disappointing in that regard. There's just so much lore and source material from the books. They had to cut soooooo much to make it digestible television, even in the early seasons when the product was still top notch.

He did it once, and it was a series he was already a huge fan of (Wheel of Time). I doubt he'd be interested (or a good fit) for a series like ASOIF. |
