'House of the Dragon' Season 2 finale is the second lowest rated in Game of Thrones history
Audiences show their dissatisfaction with the ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 finale.
‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ has been a roller coaster ride on the small screen. There have been season finales of ‘Game of Thrones’ that have been among the best ever seen on television, but there have also been black spots, such as the eighth and final season. The ending of the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’ (a show that has already confirmed when it will end) ranks only behind it as the worst ending in the entire history of the saga, according to the public.
On review aggregators like IMDb, the eighth episode of House of the Dragon has an average score of 6.4 out of 10. We repeat: only the season 8 finale of ‘Game of Thrones’ has a worse rating on the same site, with a 4 out of 10. These are the ratings for the final episode of each season of the franchise.

Some reviews on the same site suggest that it was a boring season finale. “Quite possibly one of the most boring season finales I’ve seen. . [...] Why the show runners felt the need to deviate from the source material so much is beyond me. What they failed to realize for this season, was that perhaps the most compelling story, was the actual story,” writes user prnrywcj, one of the top-rated reviewers on IMDb.
