It's not uncommon for a TV show to fail to stick its landing. Lost and Dexter couldn't do it, and no matter how The Simpsons ends, it will have come at least 15 years too late. However, few shows have ever fallen from grace quite like Game of Thrones.

Though the first two episodes of season eight weren't particularly bad, on a whole it disappointed hugely with the finale being the exclamation mark. This was where everything culminated, eliminating any lingering threat of an ending that the first seven seasons deserved.

Daenerys was killed, Jon was sent north of the Wall, despite there now being no need for a Wall and Grey Worm heading back across the sea, Tyrion decided to make Bran King simply because he could tell a story (which would surely make him more suitable for being a Maester than a King), with barely any characters actually getting a satisfying conclusion.

With 'The Iron Throne', Game of Thrones officially ended in a manner that no one could have ever predicted throughout the previous years. It limped over the finish line with the worst rated episode in the history of the show, earning a putrid 4.0 rating on IMDb.
