jehurey 3,230 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Botched is the perfect way to describe GoT. Botch implies that they ALMOST HAD IT........and messed it up. How is that not the perfect description of what happened to GoT. GoT has some very admirable qualities, but they don't impress me because I watched a little show called Rome on HBO back in the day. So the stuff GoT became famous for didn't impress me much because Rome was already doing them. They botched it. And whining about production values is like a gamer saying graphics > gameplay. Doesn't work in video game arguments, and it doesn't work in TV/Film arguments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like how this has been explained to you about 3 times, and you've avoided it each time. And this thread was about the combat.............which you also avoided that. The Witcher is a success, and as long as they avoid botching the ending, like GOT, it will remain that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that one outlet thought the show was too boring to watch beyond episode 5.....don't think that helps your case...it was too boring to finish... but ill humour you. let's remove that one outlet... what's the new review rating now? it goes up to a whopping 59% rating... still a critical flop Your OP was based on the reviews... now that you're owned it's bbbbut reviews don't count Edited December 23, 2019 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The user score is more accurate, and GoT fans should be worried if the PROLOGUE that doesn't even get to the first main book is already scoring as high as one of GoT best seasons. And we're seeing that worry happening right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Entertainment Weekly did me a favor by completely making the Rottentomatoes critics score entirely suspect. User score has you spooked, and you know it.

Twinblade★ 3,920 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I prefer the universe of the Witcher but as far as the first seasons are concerned, Game of Thrones was undoubtedly better, Including when it comes to storytelling and writing. Some of the dialogue in Witcher is just plain bad. Edited December 23, 2019 by Twinblade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Watchmen is probably the best show this year, and it enjoys the same advantages as a short series like Chernobyl did. It has 30 years of comic book hype, and its a one-time deal. And things happen that feel as if they are permanent events. If HBO decides to force another season of Watchmen, it will fall down to earth so fast, it will never recapture what they did. If HBO makes that mistake, future seasons of The Witcher will be outscoring it. With The Witcher, we just barely established the Prologue. The first main novel begins next season.

Yeah, as someone who watches a lot of TV, I can easily say Watchmen was the show of the year, with the episode A God Walks In Abar being the best hour of tv I've seen in a long time, easily besting Lost's Constant (those who've seen both will understand why I made this comparison).

jehurey 3,230 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Watchmen, True Detective Season 1, and Chernobyl are the best things HBO has put out this decade. And they all have one thing in common, the story that was told was isolated entirely to that short series of episodes. None of them were treading on a future payoff that was completely botched. I'm willing to say that each episode of Chernobyl was much more impactful than any show's singular episodes, but if we're talking about judging a whole season, I'd have to say True Detective Season 1 is probably the best.
