I'll get us started...

I don't like the show's version of the Blackfish. Not to say I dislike the performance at all...but I feel like the show writers tried to build the Blackfish up at the expense of Edmure and that really rubs me the wrong way.

My opinion of the show in general is wildly unpopular. I thought it was terrible from ep1. I thought it was rife with bad/terrible acting AND writing. I didnt finish the first season until years later, when i gritted my teeth to watch through it. I managed to arrest my hater nature, and began to sort of enjoy it for what it was... then the terrible last two seasons happened.

I do believe at the end of the day, that the more terrible aspects of the show were due to first it being an unknown entity.. and the network went cheap on the first couple of seasons to hedge their bets. lmost all of the rest of it was due to D&D.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I would, against my better judgement give HOTD a shot. It was not as bad, but the effects were so terrible I turned it off. How a network can murder a golden goose twice over is past me.

I know not many people are as critical as I am of this stuff... I dont begrudge other people enjoying the shows. Its just not for me.
