Reply to Is there an expression for liking the the experience of watching a character regardless if they are likeable? by Holmbone
No, when I like the character, I like the character. That doesn't mean I think they are a nice person. I like to watch them, they are fun. The best characters are usually not good people. It's fiction. I wouldn't be friends with people like that but I have a good time watching them on TV.
A character I like is complex, feels real, has interesting dynamics with other characters, and is driving the plot.

You're pot committed at this point. Finish it out and report back. Regardless of what others say, there still are some cool scenes left in the show.

The best place to stop is end of season 4. You're already past that though, so just stop now.

Give up immediately. It’s all downhill after season 4.

Reply to "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters
Anyone else feel downright uneasy watching this show?
The way every character frantically makes self-aware comments about themselves, as if they're the audience reacting to their own behavior in real time, is painfully annoying. It takes you right out of it, sucks all the oxygen out of the scene, leaving no room for a breath of sincerity. The writing is overly self-conscious, too eager to make meta commentary on everything going on at all times, which ends up coming off like a basic sitcom desperate to sound clever.

For sure! The books will give you the satisfying sense of closure you’re looking for…
Oh wait.

The show was great while there was source material to adapt. After that, the quality fell off a cliff.
Watch it until the end if you have a morbid curiosity and if you can find enjoyment in watching a very slow train wreck.
Try to imagine the dumbest possible end for the show. I bet the actual end will exceed your expectation.

Makes me think somebody canceled it for the tax write off like they did with Batgirl

The most fucked up thing about canceled session 2 is that it's allegedly completely finished and paid for.

Yes. Season 5 was the beginning of the end. I only watched all of it out of obligation.

It has some of the best moments in the series but its where the cracks first started to show, in the fact everything that happened in the north before the attack on the wall was inconsequential filler.

I gave up around season 4 too, but mostly because every episode felt like a bunch of unrelated moments at this point and I didn't have the patience to wait till the season finale where they would hopefully come together.
They had by then so many characters and subplots, a typical episode was like "Here are 10 minutes with Khaleesi, now five minutes with Aria, now 20 minutes with Tyrion, now a quick look at whoever that asshole is doing, followed by a scene with some guy who wasn't there since 2 seasons ago, now a few more minutes with Jon Snow or whoever and roll the credits."
It just made me feel completely unattached to anything and anybody on this show.

It's not even the best season of the series.

>Should I just finish season 6 and be done with the show?
If you can bear it, yes. S6 ends on a strong note.
After that you can just read a plot synopsis on wiki to see how it ends. But if you really need more content I'd say go for the books.

Season 6 finale would be a good place to stop, and just imagine your own resolution from there, if that's what you wanted. I don't believe in slogging though if you're beginning to hate it.

I think it was already confirmed, she will be there for one episode or something.

You can't compare the Sopranos and GoT. They're probably my two favorite TV shows, but it's like they're not even playing the same game.
