    I hated that show with a passion, and I think the books have aged like blood-and-shit laced milk as well, especially because of the giggly edgelord behind them can't even bother to finish the final book, presumably because the trust fund sex pests that were tormenting Emilia Clarke on stage (and eventually punished her character as well as herself for demanding less SV scenes and no more coerced nudity scenes) didn't actually stray as far from that final book as copium-huffing diehard fans want to believe.

      This is what i was always saying too after the show. The ending, after correcting for general show adaptation quirks like lowering budget by mass extermination of characters by Cersei, is perfectly plausible for the book. Daenerys ultimate descend into targaryanenishness of worse kind is written on the wall literally since book one for example.

        Making the SV victim (or underage SV victim in the books, because author is creepy like that too, complete with sensationalistic details describing the sexual parts of a child) the "crazy" mass murdering Swerve not-so-surprising surprise villain to invalidate even the idea of improvising society somewhat was like a liberalism limit break.
