9 Reasons why the Game of Thones Ending Didn't Work

I can't find a positive review...but I'll see...

Ah found one..well, sort of...A Positive Review of Game of Thrones

The gist? Game of Thrones had a shocking and jarring ending for most people who'd read the books and watched the series. So shocking people signed a petition to get the ending re-done. (Which I personally found sort of silly and insane. I mean seriously, do people have any idea how expensive that season was?)

Some liked it. I happen to personally know of at least 20 people who loved the ending. I know because we debated it and then decided to agree to disagree. I don't agree with them - but we also wanted separate things from the series and perceive things differently. Things that bothered me, didn't bother them. That said? I wasn't furious or anything. It's just a television series. But I did warn my mother off - she liked Dany, Jamie, and Tyrion, and the dragons. She was not a fan of Jon Snow, Sansa, or Bran.

But it did shock most people and annoy them.

The Haunting of Hill House - Mini-Series.

Watch on YouTube

In particular episode #6 - Two Storms...

"Two Storms” is not only the best episode of The Haunting of Hill House, it may be one of the best episodes for drama ever made. Told in what is essentially four single takes spanning both the past and the present. It’s a technical marvel and the staging is impressive, but what makes this episode so successful is that it is so rooted in its characters and allows them to just litigate the past.

The episode doesn’t further the plot, but it furthers the characters and becomes a turning point for the season. Not to mention the pure tension from both the horror and family drama that makes it impossible to turn from the screen. “Two Storms” is where The Haunting of Hill House goes from good to great.
