Eric Deggans NPR 11/23/2019
We saw big moments, like the death of heroine-turned-despite Daenerys Targaryen. They happened quickly, and they kind of seemed anticlimactic. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 05/26/2019
Lots of epic shows feel a little underpopulated towards the end but there's really no excuse for something as mythic, huge and mesmerising to end as disappointingly as this. Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate 05/23/2019
It's an ending only a writer could love. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 11/02/2022
This pedestrian ending, however, is what you get when you don’t wait for the author to finish his novel. Go to Full Review Christopher Hooton NME (New Musical Express) 07/14/2021
What an enjoyable show it's been, and what silly fun dissecting it, but this final run sunk its ambitions toward prestige TV status into the snow. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine 04/26/2021
The complex narrative rich in symbols and surprises was simplified in such a way that the creators gave us a compliant, straight-forward and simplistic ending. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
