The roles in Game of Thrones have shifted in the hierarchy. That's a pretty bad ending for a TV series.
According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, a new analysis has identified the worst TV series finales of all time. The finale of House of Cards takes first place, with a rating of just 2.6 out of 10 on IMDb, which is a significant disadvantage compared to the average episode rating of 8.1. The finale aired in 2018 and featured a confrontation between Doug Stamper and US President Claire Underwood in the White House. This disappointing ending has also topped previous analyses.
The Game of Thrones finale made it into the top 10 worst series endings, but it was the House of Cards finale that took the top spot. The final chapter of the fantasy saga received a rating of 6 out of 10 on IMDb, but this was a significant disadvantage compared to the average episode rating of 8.9.
The final chapter of the manga series “The Promised Neverland” also seems to have disappointed fans, coming in second place in this new study. This led to much discussion and criticism in 2019, even an online petition for a new final season. However, these complaints were not taken into account.
The series “Killing Eve” came fourth in the analysis of the most disappointing series finale. It was followed by “Dexter”, “Two and a Half Men”, “Ragnarok” and “Power”. “Bloodline” and “MythBusters” completed the top 10, although their final episodes were also not well received by viewers.
Although the final season of Game of Thrones was popular, it was not immune to criticism. It secured a place in the top 10 worst series endings, with a rating of 6 out of 10 on IMDb, which was a notable departure from the average episode rating of 8.3.
Even with the high ratings throughout its run, the controversial ending sparked Game of Thrones controversy and contributed to its position among the most disappointing series finales.
