Can you imagine? 💀 I think I'd single-handedly bring the overall critic score down to like 80% or something.

I was...both surprised and not surprised by the critic scores this season. On one hand, if you actually go to read those reviews, you'll find the same complaints cropping up again and again. The overall grade they give is positive, but they're not without criticism either.

On the other hand, tv and film criticism is...not what it should be. When you add that to the proliferation of fandom culture into this type of commentary with screeners going to fans with social media platforms and YouTubers who are often more guaranteed to give a positive review...well. (As a side note, I find that English critics tend to be a bit harsher, (not always fairly!), which is why I gravitate towards reading their reviews than others. The ASOIAF forum has quite good commentary too).
