I never watched the show, but the conversations my friends had about its last season match the conclusions of Lindsay Ellis' second video about GOT[1], namely, "yes, the ending has ruined it all". As she puts it:
> What is the legacy of GOT going to be? Because there are endings that ruin a story in hindsight. I used to watch and rewatch the earlier seasons of the show. But now, knowing how it ends, knowing what they are building towards, knowing how nihilistic and stupid and mean it ends up being, there is just no enjoyment in the journey even anymore. Even in the very long process of making these two episodes, rewatching old GOT was just an exercise in frustration because you know now that the buildup that they are going towards has little or no payoff.
