Anonymous asked: You really are set on hating the show.
The show is really set on being awful ¯\_(シ)_/¯
People don’t get it.
I was NEVER dead set on hating the show. The opposite, actually. I defended it all the way up to Season 5!
But then I stopped kidding myself.
I never wanted to hate the show. It’s just that, after a certain point, I realized how much it hated ME.
Yah, actually this was very true to my experience. I was an ardent show defender throughout Season 4. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss that earnest enjoyment.
I didn’t read OP’s username and had a minute-long internal debate as to whether this was a conversation about Teen Wolf or Shameless before I checked in the tags and realised it was about Game of Thrones.
Which, I mean. I’ve always contended that fourth seasons of TV are hard, because they’re what comes after an effective three-act structure (S1: establish; S2: develop; S3: challenge), but fifth seasons, if a show is gonna go the distance, are where the narrative should find its new balance and gear up a level (see: S5 of Buffy, Supernatural).
Or, alternatively, it’s where they go to shit. YMMV, obviously, but it does seem as though we’re in a period where the general consensus on multiple shows is veering towards the latter.
