You might not have liked how the show ended, but HBO are proud of it
The final season of Game of Thrones has met with a somewhat mixed reaction when it finally concluded last month – though to be fair, with that much weight of expectation on it, it was basically impossible for it to please everyone.
Still, the eighth season received plenty of criticism from fans, in particular for it’s handling of Daenerys Targaryen, and show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss perceived ‘rushing’ of the show to its conclusion.
Whatever you personally thought of it, it would appear HBO themselves are proud of the show, and have submitted the eighth season for multiple Emmys.
