Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020)
Not average television
If you look at the breakdown of voting for this show, you will see sharp divisions between people who thought it was wonderful versus terrible. Lots of folks gave it a perfect "10" and lots gave it the worst possible "1". That's exactly the kind of show or movie I seek out. It shows the filmmaker is taking huge chances to make something truly unexpected and different. I love to see filmmakers NOT playing it safe.
Did this experiment work? I can't say it's the best thing I ever saw. But I was definitely entertained, and I looked forward to each episode. It would help, by the way, to go seek out the documentary about the real "Jejune Institute". I found it on Amazon Prime.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Perspective, people
Here's some shows with bad endings: The Prisoner (1960's version) ended with what looked like a riot at a mental institution. Bad, because no explanations or closure for anything. The Sopranos also ended with a well-produced but controversial ending which provided no closure or answers to any questions.
In contrast to these examples, GOT ended with closure for most of the storylines and answers to most of the questions. It's not a bad ending simply because you don't like where the story went. And are you even sure you're blaming the correct writers? Even though the show went past the books, The most important plot points still were shared from GRR Martin to the HBO writers..
