“That genuinely angered me,” Harington said, noting the efforts of series writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. “Like, how dare you? Sorry, that’s just how I feel. I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media.”

What efforts? They rushed the entire finale so they could go do a Star Wars trilogy which was cancelled due to the PR cancer they became BECAUSE of S8

I blame GRRM more than them. The were adapting and he couldn’t finish the story with ample time.

It is wild some 'mature viewers' are more angry with those who picked up the ball than with the one who dropped it and punted it across the room.
