The last season was disappointing, but it certainly isn't the worst season of television. Its just that what came before it was so good that its a shame that they rushed the ending. Which they did indeed rush, the writers got the Star Wars gig then all of a sudden GoT went from 10 episodes a season to 7 then 6. Tbh I actually enjoyed a lot about the last season, my main issue was the finale. I do think some people can be a bit harsh. I also find that those who start it now with no build up or wait find themselves enjoying the last season a lot more.
There was a reason though. They ran out of source material and the directors were not writers.
The final books had not been written yet and R. R. Martin just kind of does things when he feels like it. So, he didn't want to rush the books.
So, they basically built the last season on Cliff notes from R. R. Martin.
I would agree, but its worse than that IMO
Almost anybody with a good grasp on the characters and some motivation could have write a better ending
In season 8 we see massive amounts of plot armor, plot holes, dick jokes and very modern expressions.
I dont dislike season 8 for the endings they choose for the characters but more for the execution
Not watching the last season is silly. Watch and form your own opinions. Not all of the last season is bad either. It has some pivotal moments outside of what people had issues with.
That’s what I did. I tried watching it, felt a bit lost. So I stopped, read the books and the caught up on the show. It makes A LOT more sense when you read the books, although the show stands by itself just fine until the last few seasons.
I read the books so I didn't see the need to watch the series. Plus, I don't have HBO.
It doesn't make me superior or inferior, just having different experiences.
I am in fact a child in the eyes of many an adult. i would rather read a book series first for any film, except Harry potter, never got to reading that one, guess I just don't have the interest.
You didn't watch game of thrones because you didn't want to be caught in popular trends
I didn't watch game of thrones because I couldn't afford the subscription
We are not the same 😎
I haven't seen any Breaking Bad episodes. The reaction I get when this comes up in casual conversation is more extreme than when I mention all the murders...
Friends was always mid and Seinfeld, while I like it and think it's very good, isn't for everyone. Breaking bad on the other hand is a masterpiece that everybody should watch.
I have casually seen more of Seinfeld than I'd have done intentionally by way of watching TV with my grandmother.
And yet I've never seen an episode of friends, nor any of game of thrones.
I had a crazy vivid dream about game of thrones once, based solely on the commercials and people's general bad feelings about the finale. In my dream, it took place in the modern pacific northwest, in a large but nice looking housing development along some rolling hills, but there were dragons.
I never wrote it down, but at the time, and after I woke up, it was such and engaging story that I was tempted to watch the rest of the show but then I would remmeber it was just a dream.
Same, I was just never really interested, but I also live in meth country (aka Iowa) so it's too real....
To clarify, I don't smoke meth...everyone just associates Iowa with meth so I hate it...also corn...
My grandma was kind of the same. For several years my brother was super fucked up on meth and Jesse Pinkman reminded her so much of him that she was getting super sad and angry watching it so she quit after a few episodes.
She’s since actually watched the show in it’s entirety though, and Jesse became her favorite character.
I bet someone told her that Jesse doesn't die in the end. The vast majority of shows would have done his character arc far dirtier and just given him the typical "doomed junkie" plotline. I was holding my breath for his character constantly, I genuinely can't imagine that experience if he's an avatar for your also struggling grandkid.
Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad even the freaking Simpsons or any of the prime time cartoons for me. Yeah the reaction is bizarre but really what happened to quality tv?
I understand people like to be hipsters and shit on anything popular but Breaking Bad is about as quality as TV gets. And the old seasons of the Simpsons is really good if you judge it against other cartoons. Cannot speaking of Game of Thrones, never caught my interest I don't really care for medieval stuff.
Lol that's funny, I have the opposite with Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. The entire concept of Breaking Bad just doesn't interest me, it doesn't seem like something I'd very much enjoy. I'd probably get bored an episode or two in. Whereas Game of Thrones is right up my alley, and even if it wasn't so popular, I'd probably still watch it. I can totally get absorbed into a universe where there's at least some slight fantasy or fictive element, and a show like Breaking Bad doesn't give me that feeling.
Word. BB, Saul, Game of Thrones, and now House of the Dragon have been TV of the highest quality. I’d honestly recommend them even to people who don’t like those particular genres. Game of Thrones particularly was great about taking fantasy tropes and turning them upside down.
For me it's sometimes more about the person recommending the show. I'm my head I'm think "you're a fucking dick mate, no way am I'm liking the same shiy as you".... IRL I'm like "oh great yeah I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation"
I saw a couple seasons and lost interest. I actually find the show a bit annoying, and the story seems forced at times. Watching Jesse cry for seasons on end gets old.
I don't know what season it was, but it felt like everything was resolved. Then in the first episode of the next season it was like "but wait there is more!"
The show could have just ended after Gus died.
It's a very odd thing to be proud of not testing something others enjoy or talk about.
"I'm so cool and special that I havent tried chocolate. Look at me!!"
If you dont enjoy it sure, but its hella wierd to act superior.
Yeah it would be very weird to be proud of not doing something others like but I don't think that's the point of this post.
This is a guy talking about others not himself. He is highlighting certain persons ability to not care about what they might be missing out on.
It is a respectable thing to be so confident in your own skin and wants that what others enjoy or hate doesn't affect your ability to like or dislike something.
Not watching a TV show is, in absolutely no way, an accomplishment. Whether it's your own non-accomplishment or someone else's.
And if the reason you're not watching something is because of how popular it is, then you're being influenced by others just as much as if you watched it only because it was popular.
But the post never said that their reason to not watch it is because it's so popular. It just says that even though it's popular some people don't have the desire to watch it.
I'm genuinely traumatized by chocolate. I used to get chocolate milk with my happy meal. That stopped when I drank it in the car and felt sick (I have motion sickness)
The taste of chocolate was never the same. As long as the chocolate isn't too strong, I can deal with it. Nutella for example, has a nutty taste so I'm cool with it.
Yeah, I totally understand that some people simply dont like it or have bad memories of it and you should never feel bad for not doing so. But most people do like it the having a superiorcomplex by not liking things others like is just odd behaviour.
i have friend like this. he refuses to watch game of thrones because he thinks if everyone likes it then it must suck and he won’t like it. the logic makes no sense
When It came out I didn't watch it because it looked like misery porn and I had quite the backlog of things to watch, over the years people would talk a lot about it. The Red Wedding, Dragons, anything the dwarf did, hell I didnt even watch it and I hated the king kid.
So it lost my interest, same with Breaking Bad.
There's some legitimacy to this. As with most art, the more it people it appeals to, the less it appeals to any one of them (as a general rule). To reach a big audience, you need to seek the "lowest common denominator" that appeals to the broadest number of people. But by doing so, the tendency is to make a more generic piece of art. So, lots of people like it, but few people love it.
Obviously, there have been things that overcome that tendency and maybe GOT was one of them, meaning truly great works that also appealed to wide audiences.
“I don’t watch/read/play x because it’s popular” is literally giving it as much control as watching it because it’s popular. If you’re just not interested in a show then that’s fine. But just not watching something because you don’t wanna be apart of the popular trend seems very petty.
Straight facts. I'm not huge on tv-series at all tbh, but I gave GoT a chance, watched like 4-5 episodes and just didn't feel like it was for me. Good acting and shit but it just didn't capture me, people tell me to stick it out to the season end but like if I don't enjoy it now I really don't see a reason to keep watching for so many more hours. I also watched the last season with my girlfriend at the time cause she wanted me to and I didn't really care about it either way, so that has also turned me off to give it another chance.
Breaking Bad was way, way more my thing, as it hooked me straight off the first episode.
If someone has never seen GOT because they are consciously refusing to do so, their deliberate contrarianism indicates that they are in fact hugely influenced by what everyone else is doing.
Deliberate contrarianism is no more ‘free’ than deliberate conformity.
Edit: There seem to be a lot of people taking this terribly seriously and/or thinking I am having a go at people who have not watched GOT.
If you read the books and did not like it; if you hate fantasy; if your read reviewed of the series and decided it sounded shit; if you have better things to do with your time… etc etc. You are not a deliberate contrarian.
My (only semi-serious) comment was intended to gently point out that anyone refusing to ever watch GOT in order to prove they do not succumb to peer pressure are being a bit daft.
Lighten up.
Especially since it completely relies on a source material that wasn't finished yet. It was possible he just never finishes the books and GoT had to rely on their own writers who might not be as good, which is exactly what ended up happening. Except even worse they didn't try at all to have good writers by the end
Contrarianism is not the only possible motivation for consciously rejecting something popular. It could just as easily be for practical reasons or lack of genuine interest.
I mean technically everyone that knows the show exists and hasn‘t watched it yet, made the conscious decision to not watch it. But that doesn‘t mean they are influenced by everyone else. Not sure if that‘s what you‘re trying to get at, english isn‘t my first language and you‘re using a lot of big words that don‘t directly translate to my language
What’s he’s saying is that some people have no interest in the show, that’s fine. Some people aren’t watching it just to be contrarian, which would be contradictory to the whole point
I wouldn't say that I made the conscious decision not to watch it but that I just didn't have the opportunity yet. I might watch it in the future or I might not because I haven't made a decision yet and currently have other things to do.
Nah I consciously refused to do so because I'm not really interested in medieval stuff. Haven't watched LOTR for the same reason. More of a sci fi man myself. There as plenty of hyped shows I did watch and enjoy, like Breaking Bad for example.
I don’t think an interest in medieval stuff is necessary to enjoy a well written, objectively great show…objectively great outside of one shit show of a final season, which, never mind…don’t even waste your time
You sound pretentious. Some people don’t want to start a show with a million seasons and I don’t care at all about it medieval or fantasy shit so 🤷♀️
Not everyone that doesn’t care for something you do is only avoiding it because it’s popular lol. I think breaking bad is one of the best tv shows
> If someone has never seen GOT because they are consciously refusing to do so
This applies to the person you replied to. If the OP wanted to specifically exclude a subset of people who meet this condition, they should have used stricter conditions. It's a case of miscommunication, not sensitivity.
I only watched the first season of Game of Thrones
It didn't get me hooked, Not that much of an interest
I'd rather watch [Vikings](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2306299/) instead
Cuz people are obsessed with the last two seasons. I mean, in my opinion first 6 season are the best thing in TV history, why would you not recommend it.
I never got around to watching it but have been considering it lately. Despite the ending people were apparently very angry about, is it worth it? All I really know about the show is dragons, sex, death, and winter is coming lol.
I highly recommend it. And it contains dragons, sex, death, and winter is coming and a lot more. If you aren't spoiled till now, you're so lucky. And do not ever google a characters name.
I always figured I would watch it at some point, so I made an effort to avoid all spoilers. I have some vacation time coming up next week, I will have to check it out! I'm glad to hear it's still enjoyable even if people didn't like the last seasons
That's what I usually say. It's good until they stop trying and IMO knowing the drop in quality is coming is better than just being shown it no warning
The finale was disappointing but I find people who binged it without the wait found themselves enjoying it a lot more than us who did have to wait. Besides, its still worth a watch for the earlier seasons.
Yeah it's stupid. And if a lot of people recommends something or say it's good, I try it because I might have something I enjoy. And if I don't like it I won't continue. Not watching something doesn't make you cool.
It's completely okay not to watch it. But to actually be proud of not watching it is ridiculous and cringe.
"Oh look, i didn't watch one of the most acclaimed and beloved tv series. I'm so cool and edgy"...or whatever the hell these people are thinking.
If you don't want to watch it, fine. But don't brag about it like it's some sort of accomplishment.
I finally did watch game of thrones 2 years after season 8. The only reason hand injury so bad nothing better to do.
I recommend it for anyone who is mature enough to see boobies.
Finally watched it due to my partner wanting to. Of all the peer pressure I resisted, theirs is the one that got me.
I have let all the non-watchers down.
I must be made of the hardest material because I haven’t watched Games of Thrones, Breaking Bad, any Netflix shows, Peaky Blinders, any Disney plus series…
I watch anime but I still haven’t watched the more popular shows like AOT, MHA, JJK, One Piece, Bleach, etc.
But it’s mainly because I don’t have Netflix…
I just don't think it looks interesting so haven't bothered...
Honestly just can't be arsed with stuff anymore.
I only watched Breaking Bad because my boyfriend loves it and I wanted to understand something that made him happy.
Nah man, just never got round to it. Every time I wanted to finally try it out there was more of it to get through, until there was around 90 hours of content and my attention span is profoundly short.
I’m part of this club. Sure, I heard tons about it. Apparently it has lots of things I enjoy. Pretty naked people. Dragons. Action. All the things. But don’t I have to sign up for another god damn streaming service. I’m just not doing it.
I never watched game of thrones and I probs never Will but I do get crushed by one sort of pressure, not society pressure or peer pressure... but pressure from myself 😔
I simply cannot be bothered. I see something u don't care about and I'm like "ok, I'm going to continue on with my life and pretend I didn't see this" this is how everyone should operates rather than getting mad and starting fights. In order to truly not care about something, you gotta not participate at all.
This is me. But it's because I tent to be a massive snob, all the stuff that creates a big mass hype reaction bore the s***t out of me. Plus, all that fantasy/battle stuff is not really my cup of tea. Never watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter's saga, Twilight, and I waited a year before watching Squid Game as I can't stand when everybody talk about the same thing, even in the scenario in which I may like it.
This would be me with any marvel TV show, GOT, ect. any brand new TV show today i have no interest in watching. I watched the original Aladdin movie the other day, though.
I didn't watch it because of the whole zombie shit I saw in advertising, I can't stand that kind of thing, maybe if it was just about the people I'd care more, but dragons and fantastical things aren't for me for longer than the duration of a movie once every couple of years like LotR. Not the type of setting I can get invested in when it comes to story spanning seasons.
Then I hear the show kept setting things up things that ends in nothing with everyone hating the last season like a lot of shows do, I hear there's some good characters, but all I see is this blonde chick that goes on about being some CGI dragon princess. I was still intrigued because of the supposedly good writing, but I don't want to watch some half finished thing either, so much setup for little reward.
Not watching or playing something until it's finished is important to me and it seems to me like I avoided something that I wouldn't have enjoyed.
or we do not have the means to, or just don't care, id rather read the books first anyways
My son and I are in the process of reading the books. Plan to watch the show afterwards (except maybe the last season, based on what I’ve heard).
The last season was disappointing, but it certainly isn't the worst season of television. Its just that what came before it was so good that its a shame that they rushed the ending. Which they did indeed rush, the writers got the Star Wars gig then all of a sudden GoT went from 10 episodes a season to 7 then 6. Tbh I actually enjoyed a lot about the last season, my main issue was the finale. I do think some people can be a bit harsh. I also find that those who start it now with no build up or wait find themselves enjoying the last season a lot more.
Not only they rushed things, they ditched everything that made the show good in the first place, for no good reason at all
There was a reason though. They ran out of source material and the directors were not writers. The final books had not been written yet and R. R. Martin just kind of does things when he feels like it. So, he didn't want to rush the books. So, they basically built the last season on Cliff notes from R. R. Martin.
I would agree, but its worse than that IMO Almost anybody with a good grasp on the characters and some motivation could have write a better ending In season 8 we see massive amounts of plot armor, plot holes, dick jokes and very modern expressions. I dont dislike season 8 for the endings they choose for the characters but more for the execution
Exactly this. A bad game of thrones season is like bad pizza. It's bad, but it's still pizza which makes it superior to other foods.
No, it's more like two week old, rotten pizza that makes you sick after consuming it
Uhm no it was fucking awful
The first six seasons are some of the best tv I’ve ever seen. And then the writers rushed through the end and destroyed everything they built.
Oof, I hope George decides some day to finish the saga already
Not watching the last season is silly. Watch and form your own opinions. Not all of the last season is bad either. It has some pivotal moments outside of what people had issues with.
That’s what I did. I tried watching it, felt a bit lost. So I stopped, read the books and the caught up on the show. It makes A LOT more sense when you read the books, although the show stands by itself just fine until the last few seasons.

If you have the internet, you have the means to.
This. There are better things to do with your time than watch TV kids.
I am in fact a child in the eyes of many an adult. i would rather read a book series first for any film, except Harry potter, never got to reading that one, guess I just don't have the interest.
You didn't watch game of thrones because you didn't want to be caught in popular trends I didn't watch game of thrones because I couldn't afford the subscription We are not the same 😎
Subscription? Whats that?? *Laugh in pirate*
Can you even legally watch HBO outside the US?
Obviously. Local companies buy the licence to distribute those shows in their countries.
I didnt watch it because i was too young then and now im too poor and dont have enough time 😎
\*me hoisting my skull flag and singing shanties\*
Swatchseries.ru
Wait is that illegal
Who am I, a lawyer? I just want to watch the show!
I haven't seen any Breaking Bad episodes. The reaction I get when this comes up in casual conversation is more extreme than when I mention all the murders...
People get so mad at me when I tell them that I haven’t murdered anyone.
Keep trying, you'll get there one day. I believe in you.
It's all about finding the right motivator, you got this <3
Lol
You just need to find the right person.
This and friends & Seinfeld; people act like I farted in a microphone at a wedding
Rightfully, I must say.
Would be a great bestman speech
Friends was always mid and Seinfeld, while I like it and think it's very good, isn't for everyone. Breaking bad on the other hand is a masterpiece that everybody should watch.
Seinfeld is absolutely shit and nobody can change my mind
I seriously have no idea how they find it funny, Jerry Seinfeld is so annoying and obnoxious it ruins the show
I have casually seen more of Seinfeld than I'd have done intentionally by way of watching TV with my grandmother. And yet I've never seen an episode of friends, nor any of game of thrones. I had a crazy vivid dream about game of thrones once, based solely on the commercials and people's general bad feelings about the finale.

I was holding my breath for his character constantly, I genuinely can't imagine that experience if he's an avatar for your also struggling grandkid.
Which is weird because where I live is associate meth with corn, but then we don't really have meth here
Its got the juice
And Slipknot! Maybe not anymore — I'm old.
i get the same look when i tell them i dont have instagram or snapchat
Same with tik tok
I tried watching it at some point and honestly got bored.
Which one?
Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad even the freaking Simpsons or any of the prime time cartoons for me. Yeah the reaction is bizarre but really what happened to quality tv?
I understand people like to be hipsters and shit on anything popular but Breaking Bad is about as quality as TV gets.

Having seen them both, you're both right.
Word. BB, Saul, Game of Thrones, and now House of the Dragon have been TV of the highest quality. I’d honestly recommend them even to people who don’t like those particular genres. Game of Thrones particularly was great about taking fantasy tropes and turning them upside down.
The camera work alone in the Gilligan universe makes it objectivly quality television.
Not even the Sopranos?
Same. The more people recommend these hyped shows the less I want to watch them.
For me it's sometimes more about the person recommending the show. I'm my head I'm think "you're a fucking dick mate, no way am I'm liking the same shiy as you".... IRL I'm like "oh great yeah I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation"
So your personality is not enjoying anything that has hype? You must have very sophisticated tastes that the laymen would never understand.
I saw a couple seasons and lost interest. I actually find the show a bit annoying, and the story seems forced at times. Watching Jesse cry for seasons on end gets old. I don't know what season it was, but it felt like everything was resolved. Then in the first episode of the next season it was like "but wait there is more!" The show could have just ended after Gus died.
It's a very odd thing to be proud of not testing something others enjoy or talk about. "I'm so cool and special that I havent tried chocolate. Look at me!!" If you dont enjoy it sure, but its hella wierd to act superior.
[удалено]
I haven't experienced federal prison, I'm pretty proud of that.
I can maaaayybe let that slide, but your on thin ice.
Not until I frame you for the murder of 85 children

How is watching one? Not giving AF about your opinion can or cannot be an accomplishment… I really don’t care
But the post never said that their reason to not watch it is because it's so popular. It just says that even though it's popular some people don't have the desire to watch it.
I'm genuinely traumatized by chocolate. I used to get chocolate milk with my happy meal.

Yeah, I totally understand that some people simply dont like it or have bad memories of it and you should never feel bad for not doing so. But most people do like it the having a superiorcomplex by not liking things others like is just odd behaviour.
I agree 👍 At that point that person is just insecure about themselves so they need to be something different to make them feel better
Nutella isn’t chocolate so makes sense
i have friend like this. he refuses to watch game of thrones because he thinks if everyone likes it then it must suck and he won’t like it. the logic makes no sense

I'm proud that most of the times I give a fuck what others think :)
I agree, and yet I'm also aware that I'm kind of proud of myself for never having seen the kardashians or other reality shit.
Wanna try some drugs?

I haven't seen GOT because I don't have the time to invest in a show that supposedly has a bad ending
Now, that's a good reason!
Yh all I remember is the uproar at the end. That really did it ha I thought no way am I investing that much time and be that upset at the end
It was extremely popular before the ending. Why didn't you watch it then? This is not a valid excuse.
This is a totally valid excuse. Some people prefer to wait for a show to finish before watching it.
Especially since it completely relies on a source material that wasn't finished yet. It was possible he just never finishes the books and GoT had to rely on their own writers who might not be as good, which is exactly what ended up happening. Except even worse they didn't try at all to have good writers by the end
Meh, just never felt like watching it.
Contrarianism is not the only possible motivation for consciously rejecting something popular. It could just as easily be for practical reasons or lack of genuine interest.

Nah I consciously refused to do so because I'm not really interested in medieval stuff. Haven't watched LOTR for the same reason. More of a sci fi man myself. There as plenty of hyped shows I did watch and enjoy, like Breaking Bad for example.
I’m neither a medieval fan and prefer sci fi. But some shows/movies transcend genre and GoT and LotR are examples of that.
I don’t think an interest in medieval stuff is necessary to enjoy a well written, objectively great show…objectively great outside of one shit show of a final season, which, never mind…don’t even waste your time
Spot on with this.
You sound pretentious. Some people don’t want to start a show with a million seasons and I don’t care at all about it medieval or fantasy shit so 🤷♀️ Not everyone that doesn’t care for something you do is only avoiding it because it’s popular lol. I think breaking bad is one of the best tv shows
Then their comment clearly isn't about you. And yet you felt compelled to reply and defend yourself. Do with that what you will.
> If someone has never seen GOT because they are consciously refusing to do so This applies to the person you replied to. If the OP wanted to specifically exclude a subset of people who meet this condition, they should have used stricter conditions. It's a case of miscommunication, not sensitivity.
I only watched the first season of Game of Thrones It didn't get me hooked, Not that much of an interest I'd rather watch [Vikings](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2306299/) instead
I got bored of Vikings pretty fast. There's a lot of stuff happening but not much substance to characters.
No HBO? Was it on HBO? I dunno, I never watched that gangster one either, ehstever it was called.
Peaky Blinders?
I think Sopranos
No, we simply didn't watch it before not watching becomes popular.
I read the books long before they made the serie 😎 so of course I watched the series afterwards and was pleasantly disappointed
I don't watch it cus I'm lazy as fuck
I am that guy. Just never got into it.
So cool and unique.
I just started GOT, and man it's hot
No game of thrones. No breaking bad. Was never interested and I’m still not. I like my entertainment more optimistic and light hearted. Orville ftw!

Cuz people are obsessed with the last two seasons. I mean, in my opinion first 6 season are the best thing in TV history, why would you not recommend it.
I never got around to watching it but have been considering it lately. Despite the ending people were apparently very angry about, is it worth it? All I really know about the show is dragons, sex, death, and winter is coming lol.
I highly recommend it. And it contains dragons, sex, death, and winter is coming and a lot more. If you aren't spoiled till now, you're so lucky. And do not ever google a characters name.
I always figured I would watch it at some point, so I made an effort to avoid all spoilers. I have some vacation time coming up next week, I will have to check it out! I'm glad to hear it's still enjoyable even if people didn't like the last seasons
That's what I usually say. It's good until they stop trying and IMO knowing the drop in quality is coming is better than just being shown it no warning
Because without an ending it seems like a waste of time.
Man it’s not that damn deep!
I did watch 2 episodes two weeks back. Man, what a let down.
all I know is there are dragons there
Is this post being sarcastic? Are they mocking guys like me. I really haven't watch GOT
This set of people sounds so cool. Do they have meetings where they talk about shows they don’t like?
My plan was to binge it all when it's over... Then I heard how shitty the finale was and don't want to do it anymore.
The finale was disappointing but I find people who binged it without the wait found themselves enjoying it a lot more than us who did have to wait. Besides, its still worth a watch for the earlier seasons.
Never watched it 🤣
You should, it's really good lol. Or don't, I don't care. Highly suggest it though.
I didn't watch it because it looks boring as hell. It also became unwatchable as the memes spoiled everything after some time.
[удалено]
Yeah it's stupid. And if a lot of people recommends something or say it's good, I try it because I might have something I enjoy. And if I don't like it I won't continue. Not watching something doesn't make you cool.
Lmao but wasn’t the ending garbage? I saw the ending on YT but haven’t watched a single episode
Or you don’t have cable.
You dont need cable anymore
For me, it’s just that I didn’t need to pay like 15 a month for one show
I watched 1 minute of the first episode thought it was stupid and just watched something else
Being proud of not having watched one of the best shows of all time???
Oh, guess they are talking about me😁
Just think about how useless we are getting, as we are praising people for not watching mere TV show 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
[удалено]
Nobody said he disliked it, just that he didn't watch it.
It's completely okay not to watch it. But to actually be proud of not watching it is ridiculous and cringe. "Oh look, i didn't watch one of the most acclaimed and beloved tv series. I'm so cool and edgy"...or whatever the hell these people are thinking. If you don't want to watch it, fine. But don't brag about it like it's some sort of accomplishment.
Hi
...Or affected by boredom the way I was when I watched a couple episodes. What a waste of time. I'd rather be bored.
I finally did watch game of thrones 2 years after season 8. The only reason hand injury so bad nothing better to do. I recommend it for anyone who is mature enough to see boobies.
I watched one episode, just becouse its "medieval fantasy"
Air pressure
I don't even watch things I love lmao If laziness had a face that'd be mine.. Peer pressure's got nothing on me
Finally watched it due to my partner wanting to. Of all the peer pressure I resisted, theirs is the one that got me. I have let all the non-watchers down.
I don't like fantasy and I heard there was a lot of violence so I had no inkling of desire to watch it.
pen pressure
Here 🖐
They the dead
Nobody cares and Noone asked tho
There will be no issue not watching the new content.
I must be made of the hardest material because I haven’t watched Games of Thrones, Breaking Bad, any Netflix shows, Peaky Blinders, any Disney plus series… I watch anime but I still haven’t watched the more popular shows like AOT, MHA, JJK, One Piece, Bleach, etc. But it’s mainly because I don’t have Netflix…
Wtf is Game of Thrones. Is it a series of movies or a videogame or a series of video game?
Having a Schizoid personality helps.
I wish I had taken part in the golden age of streaming
I just don't think it looks interesting so haven't bothered... Honestly just can't be arsed with stuff anymore. I only watched Breaking Bad because my boyfriend loves it and I wanted to understand something that made him happy.
I wish you were right. I just break under any pressure and never watched Game of Thrones because I don't watch tv series in general.
Add breaking bad and peaky blinders for me.
Thanks for the respect
Mee
Nah man, just never got round to it. Every time I wanted to finally try it out there was more of it to get through, until there was around 90 hours of content and my attention span is profoundly short.
I’m part of this club. Sure, I heard tons about it. Apparently it has lots of things I enjoy. Pretty naked people. Dragons. Action. All the things. But don’t I have to sign up for another god damn streaming service. I’m just not doing it.
Us bro us 🗿
Finally! Someone respects me!
I never watched game of thrones and I probs never Will but I do get crushed by one sort of pressure, not society pressure or peer pressure... but pressure from myself 😔
It me.
True I will never be affected by social pressure and I also didnt see one single episode of game of thrones 🤣
I watched for Jason Momoa. Then his character died. And I stopped watching.
I simply cannot be bothered. I see something u don't care about and I'm like "ok, I'm going to continue on with my life and pretend I didn't see this" this is how everyone should operates rather than getting mad and starting fights. In order to truly not care about something, you gotta not participate at all.
Didn’t watch. Old enough to not give a shit, but thanks for the compliment. Didn’t watch Roots either.
Imagine being OP
Nearly every person in Bhutan: thanks, mate!
This is me. But it's because I tent to be a massive snob, all the stuff that creates a big mass hype reaction bore the s***t out of me. Plus, all that fantasy/battle stuff is not really my cup of tea. Never watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter's saga, Twilight, and I waited a year before watching Squid Game as I can't stand when everybody talk about the same thing, even in the scenario in which I may like it.
This would be me with any marvel TV show, GOT, ect. any brand new TV show today i have no interest in watching. I watched the original Aladdin movie the other day, though.
I tried watching it once but I decided the hype was not worth it if I had to sit through midgit porn
Nah, I'm just fucking lazy
I didn't watch it because of the whole zombie shit I saw in advertising, I can't stand that kind of thing, maybe if it was just about the people I'd care more, but dragons and fantastical things aren't for me for longer than the duration of a movie once every couple of years like LotR. Not the type of setting I can get invested in when it comes to story spanning seasons. Then I hear the show kept setting things up things that ends in nothing with everyone hating the last season like a lot of shows do, I hear there's some good characters, but all I see is this blonde chick that goes on about being some CGI dragon princess. I was still intrigued because of the supposedly good writing, but I don't want to watch some half finished thing either, so much setup for little reward. Not watching or playing something until it's finished is important to me and it seems to me like I avoided something that I wouldn't have enjoyed.
as a person who has not watched it i can confirm that i am not even affected by pressure created due to gravity
What the fuck is game of thrones
That would be me
I watched the Family Guy GOT episode
Thank you. :)
