When thinking about a cult series like “Game of Thrones,” there are few examples that can be considered on the same level.
Since its debut, the HBO television show has won over an impressive number of viewers for the attention and care shown in the adaptation of the works of George R.R. Martin, giving life to an eight-season journey that - until its controversial conclusion - crowned it among the most followed and appreciated products destined for the small screen of all time.
As is well known, the creators of the series David Benioff and DB Weiss had to deal with the discontent of a good portion of the fans after the drop in quality of the last episodes and the disappointing response of the final episode. If the main reasons lie in the fact that, starting from the fifth season, the show could no longer rely on the guidelines of the novels - considering that the saga of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is still waiting for a conclusion - much more responsibility would be attributed to the choices made by the showrunners, accused of not having fully respected the spirit of the work with a hasty and uninspired direction.
It took a long time for the bitter disappointment of the last episode to die down the controversy, and not even the launch of a petition asking HBO to reshoot the eighth season seems to have helped. In contrast, actor Peter Dinklage, who for his performance as Tyrion Lannister has placed himself at the top of the most beloved characters of the show, has intervened on the issue. Even after five years, the star continues to believe that the finale of “Game of Thrones” is worthy of praise, as revealed during an interview with Rolling Stone for the promotion of his latest film “The Thicket”.
Without hesitation, he argued about it: "I like the ending! You don't have to agree with me. I can't speak for anyone else's opinion, and that's what makes our job fun, because everyone has different opinions and everyone can write about them and chat about them and drink about them and argue about them. It's great. I mean, I think it means you're doing something right."
