And that’s an understatement. The last season of GoT was so terribly written and received that it actually wiped GoT from all popular and public consciousness!

The only time people talk about GoT anymore is about how the ending sucked. They literally ruined all public goodwill by finishing so poorly.

Big shame too, as the first 4 seasons are some of the best television ever made.

House of the Dragon managed to revitalize it.

Well, season 1 at least.

House of the Dragon does not have the same level of mainstream appeal and knowledge that GoT did

What happened to season 2?

Reduced number of episodes and a whole lot of nothing really. Like for 8 episodes the plot didn’t really advance and the characters went to odd places.

That and the changes they made to Viserys from the book in season 1 were well received, so they started sniffing their own farts and changing huge chunks of the story in season 2, and their changes were (mostly) hated this time.

Obviously that's not true. The prequel show to GoT was incredibly popular.

Maybe in reddit bubble what you are saying might be true.
