9 Reasons ‘Game of Thrones’ Is Actually a Terrible Show

6. The Good Guys Always Lose And They Die Terrible, Terrible Deaths

Okay, so last season, the demented Ramsay Bolton was eaten by dogs, and the season before that, sadistic boy king Joffrey Baratheon was poisoned pretty grotesquely. For the most part though, nothing life-threatening happens to bad people in Game of Thrones. The good people though, get mowed down like there’s no tomorrow. At this point in the series, essentially all but three Starks are left alive, and anyone else who’s shown a hint of nobility throughout the series gets swiftly cut down, and typically before they’re able to achieve any measure of revenge. When the good guys are finally thrown just the tiniest bone, they typically have to walk through hell just to get there. Who doesn’t remember the time Jon Snow had to literally fight his way out of a pile of corpses to beat the Bolton army?
