        they killed the entire game of thrones universe by doing a final season quickly to “wrap things up” so they could move on to bigger and better things.

            i think they had a starwars movie deal, but after they butchered GoT that got pulled back.

                Disney and Douche&Douche both claimed otherwise, but anyone with a pair of eyes could see that their deal dissolved pretty publicly after Season 8 concluded.

                Truly Season 8 wiped the biggest cultural phenomenon off the map. Who even mentions GoT unless it’s to marvel at how badly they fucked up?

      I literally laughed out loud.

      The star walked away and did “Murder At The End of the World.” She has a small but pivotal role and directed three of the episodes.

        The star always wrote the show with her cowriter zal. She also wrote all of murder at the end of the world.

      Is there really any reason then to view this series if one’s already watched the Chinese version? I thought that one was pretty phenomenal, and felt like the Netflix version couldn’t possibly compare

        I preferred the Chinese version. Hollywood’s take didn’t have the same atmosphere and the pacing was weird.

        They never let you soak in any particular moment, time, or place. Every little plot line or detail that could be cut, was. It felt to me like a very long tldr or a string of trailers glued together. So many trailer-style corny one-liners.

        I’m sure I’m forgetting some parts that were actually enjoyable, but I feel like I wouldn’t have missed out on anything had I not watched it.
