9. The Whole Show is Boring Now
When things got started on Game of Thrones, every death was shocking, every line of dialogue razor sharp. In the intervening seasons, the show hasn’t produced any truly unique new characters, and its focus has shifted from story, to gratuitous scenes of violence and sex. At some point, audiences became immune to the shock, almost coming to expect a growing slew of degradation and hopelessness. We expect the awful, so it’s not a shock, which robs Game of Thrones of one of its biggest thrills.
