you can go to pornhub for the first two things, and just look at news if you enjoy murder.
why bother with all the soap opera shit
What TV do you like, exactly?
lately, nothing. i've been marathoning what i grew up with, star trek" TOS, TNG, DS9, voyager-- i tried to get into the "newer" ones, but they're meh to me. i was initially interested in orphan black and squid game, but they got tedious and i lost interest
generally speaking i'll avoid investing a single microsecond in a show until a) it's 100% completed; and b) people don't fucking hate the ending--which, apparently isn't the case with GoT
I mean GOT still at least had 6 highly received seasons. I don't think the ending degrades GOT as a series.
I also don't think there's anything especially wrong with gravitating towards media content that explores dark or violent themes in writing (seemingly a partial objection of yours to GOT?)
the ending is the most important part. what's the point of any of it if it's not leading up to something? i have no problem with darkness or violence, but to claim those things as a unique or groundbreaking thing in defense of the show is what's goofy to me. i mean it has boobies too. yea, and...?
It depends on how much quality there is prior to it to me. Endings do weaken the show overall to varying degrees if they are badly done or rushed, but there's a lot of great content along-the-way.
