For me its probably got to be Game of Thrones (although the ending was so anticlimactic)

Haven't watched GOT. The last season is what's been keeping me from watching it.

Haven’t watched GOT. The last season is what’s been keeping me from watching it.

The first four seasons are the best thing that has ever been on TV.

Season 5-6 are like... They lost track of what made it great and went for spectacle, it was good if that's what you are into.

Season 7 was bad.

Season 8 was actually offensive. It's not just a meme that it made everything that came before worse.

If you have never watched it, watch s1-4, and tip your toe in s5-6, dont go any further.

I just really hate knowing that I won't have a proper ending or I'll have to make one up myself. I'm not sure investing my time in something like that is worth it.

It probably isn't. Which is such a shame because you're gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.

Yeah... I'd say watch it and just enjoy the first 3–5 seasons which contain arguably some of the best television ever made. Things start to do downhill as the writes had less and less source material to work off of, but season 6 is ok. Season 7 I think is bad. It's mostly just setup for the last season which failed miserably, and I think it would have been good had they managed to pull through with 8. Idk. Maybe just make up your own ending after watching the first 6–7 seasons.
