their opinions before my opinion

Before I publish my own insights on "Game of Thrones," here are some YouTube videos I've watched—I've actually watched many more than those shown here—that offer reviews, commentary, parodies, and—of course—complaints about Season 8 of "Game of Thrones" and the series as a whole. My own thoughts will be coming soon.

ADDENDUM: some expressions that keep popping up in these and other reviews:

subverting expectations
lazy writing
bad writing
stick the landing
too hasty
out of character
makes no sense
stupid
