12 Incredible TV Episodes (That Fans HATED)
2. The Long Night - Game Of Thrones
The long-awaited face-off between the Night King and our morally grey heroes on Game of Thrones was always bound to be divisive, but many viewers resented the bleak and unbearably tense final season instalment The Long Night for failing to live up to their outsized expectations for the eventual battle.
Despite the episode handling combat even more brutally and engrossingly than earlier less ambitious instalments such as Blackwater, many fans were let down by The Long Night, and revisiting the episode it’s hard to see why.
The dark, violent action sings, the character beats hit their marks, and everything from Jorah’s brutally tragic death to Arya’s victorious killing of series antagonist the Night King is pitch perfect.
