10 TV Shows You Should Stop Watching Before The Final Season

1. Game Of Thrones

OITNB Season Six
HBO

This one was always going to be controversial because we all know that the final season is meant to tie up every loose end. We were meant to see what finally became of our beloved characters as they faced the Night King, accompanied by the wrath of thousands of white walkers.

Essentially we were all waiting for the final season when winter actually came and we could resolve all the crap we had been dealing with for seven seasons. That means there’s no way you can skip the final season, right?

Wrong.

For your own good, your sanity and your perception of the show and all it offers, if you can skip Season Eight then you should do it.

Of every show on this list, Game of Thrones’ decline into garbage was the one that hurt the most. After eight years of investment and hundreds of hours of watching and rewatching, we were rewarded with nonsensical character changes, painfully boring episodes, awkward dialogue and the most divisive ending in any show of the last decade.

I can still remember the collective sigh of everyone in the room when Brienne started crying as Jamie rode away on his horse. There was a million moments that felt so deeply wrong that we just had to endure. You think after all that time you know all the characters, their motivations and how everything works, only to have that all trashed.

I’m avoiding spoilers because after this long and this much hype, everyone reserves their right to watch the final season if they choose - but just know that you have been warned.
