The Iron Throne Ratings & Reviews
The Gutter Monkey
May 11, 2025
A rushed, nonsensical, and utterly unfulfilling end to one of the greatest TV shows ever made.
NPR
Eric Deggans
We saw big moments, like the death of heroine-turned-despite Daenerys Targaryen. They happened quickly, and they kind of seemed anticlimactic.
Times (UK)
Hugo Rifkind
Lots of epic shows feel a little underpopulated towards the end but there's really no excuse for something as mythic, huge and mesmerising to end as disappointingly as this.
Slate
Sam Adams
It's an ending only a writer could love.
Slate
Isaac Butler
The oddest aspect of the long-awaited, much derided, but actually pretty good finale of Game of Thrones is that it tries to sell an aristocratic coup as a glorious revolution.
Salon.com
Amanda Marcotte
The last season felt a bit rushed at times, thought not nearly as much as the extremely online have been saying, but it was incredibly impressive how the show stayed true to the vision until the end.
Globe and Mail
Barry Hertz
As in, ugh, how did Benioff and Weiss (and, we can only assume, Martin) find and then magnify every flaw in what has otherwise been a fantastic production?
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Some of the choices were off - but the tone and pace were just right.
BBC.com
Hugh Montgomery
In the end, similarly, some characters were served better than others by Benioff and Weiss - spare a thought for example, for poor Brienne of Tarth.
Slate
Dan Kois
In this final episode, needing only to execute George R.R. Martin's ending, they clearly made a choice: to lean into the things their show does better than most other shows. It was the right choice!
Slate
Lili Loofbourow
The more they stay the same.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Benioff and Weiss organized their entire series around an ending that they didn't write to.
Slate
Inkoo Kang
Feels lazy and false. It's not much of a happy ending to go from placing our faith in kings and queens to trusting the judgment of unseen and unaccountable committee meetings.
New Yorker
Sarah Larson
Circles and circles and circles, and many ways they could have spun. A good story, in the end, leaves you wanting more.
New Yorker
Emily Nussbaum
As ever, the filming was nifty, with an especially lovely image of Dany striding forward with Drogon's wings rising behind her back. But the writing was . . . honestly, it just felt dumb to me.
CNN.com
AJ Willingham
Daggers really are the MVP of major character kills, aren't they? Daenerys and the Night King are going to have a lot to reflect upon in the afterlife: "I had dragons. You had scores of zombie dead people to do your bidding. And THIS is how we went out?"
Washington Post
David Malitz
Maybe Bran officially "won" the Game of Thrones, but Sansa will live the best life.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
The Iron Throne also is an entirely predictable end to a season marred by rushed narratives and uncharacteristic U-turns in behavior that [David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss explain away in their post-episode behind-the-scenes features.
The Atlantic
Megan Garber
Bran's apparent inability to feel much of anything is treated, ultimately, as a gift to the citizens of Westeros... This is a profound misreading -- not only of the complexity of the human psyche, but also of the whole of human history.
The Atlantic
Lenika Cruz
I'll admit, the crosscutting of the scenes showing the Starks finding their own, separate ways forward was beautifully done. It made me wish the episode as a whole had been more cohesive, less rushed, and more emotionally resonant.
