Warning: This article may contain spoilers for those who have not watched the "Game of Thrones" series finale.

The final season of Game of Thrones went out on an epic note that wasn't necessarily a good one.

Many devoted fans who have followed the HBO fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels since April 17, 2011 felt let down.

Common reactions included viewers feeling slighted by rushed writing that led to an online petition demanding HBO remake the eighth season with "competent writers."


Many pondered what the eighth season was all for?

People were exhausted by the time Daenerys was betrayed by Jon Snow and Drogon burned down the Iron Throne in the second half of the episode.

Others thought the all characters ended up where they were supposed to in the storyline, but the overall consensus was that the show deserved to go out with a bigger bang.



But now that the show is over, fans are comparing the disappointing ending with other famous TV series finales.

This user couldn't decide which ending was worse: Lost (2004-2010) or GoT.





A lot of Dexter (2006–2013) fans are still bitter about that show's terrible ending.







Some went back further and claimed that M*A*S*H (1972-1983) had the worst ending.





What about Sons of Anarchy (2008-2014)?





Some people thought How I Met Your MotherHow I Met Your Mother (2005-2014) ended horribly.




Others thought that True Blood (2008-2014) sucked.




Can you think of other series finales to add to TV's hall of shame?
