It’s true. Dense pieces of art that are consumed by millions of people will never receive a universally positive or negative consensus. A deep dive into the archives will show you that a lot of fans pushed back against The Empire Strikes Back when it first hit the big screen in 1980.
Martin Hill also discussed his experience watching Season 8 Episode 3, ‘The Long Night’ (more commonly known as ‘The Battle of Winterfell’). It seems like while Hill had a better viewing experience than a lot of fans, he totally understands the criticisms about the episode being too dark as well.
On top of that, the VFX artist also rightfully noted that while season 8 did receive a lot of hate, nobody actually stopped watching. Season 8 drew the largest audience in the series’ history (11.99 million viewers on average). All eight seasons of Game of Thrones is currently available to stream on HBO Go and Astro Go.
