[SPOILERS] Game of Thrones is going to age horribly

If you think of Game of Thrones as one giant story, seasons 1 - 4 are Act I, season 5 - 7 are Act II, and season 8 is Act III.

Act I was absolutely amazing, it was the War of the Roses with an amazing fantasy setting and super well written characters. The story felt more grounded and the dialogue and character development were incredible. Plus Joffrey, Tywin, Ned, Robb Stark, Robert Baratheon, and Catelyn were all characters that added a lot to the show, their deaths definitely came at a price.

Act II is where things start to get dicey. The dialogue and character development started getting worse and worse, and the show increasingly became a generic fantasy epic type of story. Characters like Arya, Tyrion, Varys, and Littlefinger really suffered from poor writing, and they became shells of themselves. Plus on top of that the story, instead of being based on the Wars of the Roses, became centered around about ice zombies, dragons, faceless assassins, stone men, etc.

Act III is where everything fell apart. The dialogue and character development were just awful. Plus the story was super rushed and it felt extremely contrived, plus there were too many plot holes and plot contrivances.

As a whole, Game of Thrones is an amazing intro, squandered by a lackluster second act, and an awful ending

Zero rewatchability
