I have never been a fan of the series and I agree with this:
“Game of Thrones” was perfect for an audience that’s been marinated since birth in bad stories full of more banal brutality. Like drug addicts, we needed higher and higher doses for our burned-out nervous systems to feel anything.
The Rise of “Game of Thrones” Was Part of the Fall of America
HBO knows that neither we nor they any longer have the imagination to care about reality.
