Kit Harington has weighed in on the infamous finale of Game Of Thrones, more than five years after it has premiered.
You don't have to be a fan of the HBO hit show to know that the final season, let alone the final episode, is considered considerably worse than its previous seven seasons.
Game Of Thrones once had the whole world in a chokehold, and it reached a point where you almost couldn't talk to anyone that hadn't seen the show, arguably one of the shows of the 2010s.
The fantasy series is an adaptation of a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, the first of which was called A Game Of Thrones.

It follows nine noble families that are at war with one another to gain control of a mythical land called Westeros, while an evil force rises in the background after thousands of years, threatening the existence of mankind.
However, the ending of the show is widely known in popular culture as one of the worst, with fans less than satisfied with its eighth and final season, and plenty of the show's actors have since weighed in with their own opinions on it.

Maisie Williams said she was pleased with her character Arya Stark's character arc, but said that the show 'definitely fell off at the end' after re-watching it.

Sophie Turner has defended the show's final season numerous times, even accusing some fans of being 'disrespectful' to the cast and crew.
Tywin Lannister actor Charles Dance even revealed that he'd co-sign a fan petition for the season to be rewritten and reshot.
But what does Jon Snow think?
Played by Kit Harington in the series, the character was a fan-favourite, and arguably the most popular character overall.

Harington has finally revealed what he thinks of season eight of Game Of Thrones, during an in-depth interview with British GQ magazine.
The actor admitted: “I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so f***ing tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer,
“And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative,” the 37-year-old said.

He continued: “I look at pictures of me in that final season and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me.”
Responding to the criticism that came from fans, the Eternals star simply said: “Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, towards the end maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn’t quite work.”
