The North remembers. And good loving riddance. Here's to seven and a half seasons of a really great TV show.

Just four. Only four truly good seasons.

Better Call Saul is incredibly boring and the stories they're trying to tell are uninteresting at best and flat out inconsequential at worst. It's the television equivalent of not only watching paint dry, but watching paint dry again on a wall you've already painted.

It's slow, but hardly boring, because the characters inform every scene they are in. It's not a show to watch if you need nonstop action to keep you interested. It's much more interested in framing each scene in a way that reflects the character's mood. I can understand why people wouldn't like it, but it sure hits the spot for me. I wouldn't want every show to be like it, though.

If you don't care about the characters then the framing doesn't much matter. It is shot very well and the actors are very talented. It's just one of those shows that I think the whole is worse than the sum of it's parts.

This is true for the latter seasons.

The acting is top notch. The world building is top notch. The directing is top notch. The editing is top notch. But the writing...the writing is terrible.

EDIT - Rereading this thread I realized that the quoted post wasn't talking about Game of Thrones.

Alfie Allen is kinda generic, but at least its a proper black tie get-up. Kit looks kinda like a wine waiter with the suit and no tie.

They will just be like the kids books that come out with new pixar movies that are just the movie in a book with picture and one sentence explanations of the picture.

The Night King got stabbed by a magic dagger. All the zombies died yeah!

The kingdom abandoned its brutal ways and adopted a theocracy and respected that form of government forever.

Hey remember how they delayed the final season of game of thrones by a year and still put out an awfully written, rushed, shortened season that was so bad it retroactively made the earlier seasons worse.
