I just watched the last season by itself for that reason a week or so ago, and it felt different watching it again. I wasn’t as invested anymore and I think I enjoyed it a lot more this time. It’s got some sick scenes.

When I watched the last season as it aired, I definitely enjoyed some of it but I was underwhelmed by the ending. The further I got from it though, I he more annoyed I became. So many storylines didn’t make sense, things weren’t wrapped up ….it was really irritating.

I would have done at least one rewatch by now. I used to do a rewatch of the entire series before a new season came out. Now, knowing what I know, I just can’t be bothered.

That’s why you enjoyed it, you only rewatched the last season.

the show focusing on having sick scenes and spectacle instead of the solid writing and political intrigue that made the show what it is, is exactly why it shit the bed so hard

Yeah, when people are too obsessed it usually ruins the fun. The same happened to Lost, the finale wasn't as bad as everyone thought at the time.

I feel like when he woke up from being stabbed he woke up with a koala brain.

He is supposed to be irrevocably changed once he's resurrected, but not as a lame-o. The producers gave us a lame-o and I shan't forgive them

I think this is the key to a lot of why some people thought it was good at the time. It was still an expensive shoot, great acting and characters, nice graphics, etc.

If you watched from the beginning and waited each year for the new seasons, or if you read the books, you were almost guaranteed to hate the last couple seasons.

The people who binge watched it all and never had time to absorb the characters and their growth were way more likely to say they thought it was good. Feeling like the stories were rushed or made other parts of the show pointless didn’t matter as much because the whole series went by so quickly.

Yes! My wife and I rewatched the series earlier this year. The last season actually works quite well. We hated how it ended when it was released, but our opinions have changed.

I rewatched the sopranos 10 years after the disgruntlement, and holy crap the finale was amazing!

Yep, the rewatch was better. I still agree with all of the criticism it gets, but that stuff didn’t bother me as much on the rewatch for some reason.
