My musings after finally watching GOT.
We both think it's a show about Tyrion. By far the best character and actor on the show. And he seemed involved in everything. I really think it was a show about him.
If we hadn't started it when the show was over, so could binge watch it, we'd have given up. We almost didn't watch past season 4 as it was, which would have been a shame because from about the middle of season 5 up to the end of season 7 was awesome. If we'd been watching from the start, and waited 2 years from the awesome ending of S7 to see the first two eps of S8, I'd have felt ripped off. Having binged it the dragging of those first two eps was less of an annoyance. Am I disappointed I watched it? No. We were looking for something else to watch so it filled a gap. But if I hadn't watched it I don't think I'd have missed anything. I'll never watch it again, and I tend to watch stuff over and over.
Now we can move back onto Lucifer and Chernobyl.
