They could have made that thing 10 seasons and not run out of material. I feel like the sweet spot for seasons is around 5. Like the saying to quote the famous Harvey Dent "You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain". That if a series stays around long enough it just starts to really suck. You usually see series really take a nose dive after 5 seasons. Lost went downhill in season 6, Dexter should have stopped at 5 seasons after it being the follow up to that amazing season 4. Weeds was the same for me, season6 of SOA with Tara going to prison was awful and so on Im telling you, if you look at some of your favorite TVshows. The ones you remember being great end around season 4 or 5. If they started to suck at the end it’s because they went one or two seasons too long. another tv series that kinda falls in line with this is Entourage. They fell off after season 6 if I remember. Season7 when Vinny becomes addicted and gets involved with the pornstar was just a bad season. Walking dead was the same way as well.

Season7 when Vinny becomes addicted and gets involved with the pornstar was just a bad season I generally agree but I’m done talking TV with you if you’re gonna compare Entourage to any great show 😂. 5-6 is generally the sweet spot, I agree, but GoT had the material to go 10 without issue. They should have made seasons 7-8 a total of 4 seasons instead of two rushed ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Breaking bad had some issues too. However, they really did rush this final season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree nothing can compete to entourage but all serious. Entourage was a great male comedy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, HBO said they would allow them 10 episodes with basically a blank check to give the series the proper ending and D&D still said “Nah we can wrap this up in 6 episodes. The Dany turning into the mad queen story line should have been an entire season in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally agree that it's better to end a show maybe a bit too soon rather than having it drag on. However, GoT was a show that had so many characters and various subplots that they easily could have gone one or two more seasons to truly wrap it up. Like I've said, if they wanted to wrap it up in eight seasons, then fine, but they should have made the season longer than six episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of a series that went past 5/6 season that had original material. A lot start recycling the same concepts with new names (like in TWD, the Governor becomes Neagan, etc., it’s the same concept). GoT didn’t even need to add to the storyline they already used, just nuance it and bring it along properly. 8 minutes ago, buno67 said: I agree nothing can compete to entourage but all serious.

Yeah no show had ever built a cast this large before, which is incredible because of the depth they gave each character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and just having more episodes for different chapters to break things up, so things don’t feel rush. HBO shouldn’t have folded into D&D, they should have replaced them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who replaced them would have had a great story with developed characters gift wrapped for them. Such a damned shame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
