HBO’s fantasy juggernaut Game of Thrones had the world in a chokehold just two seasons in — and it never let go until the very end. Based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga, the series is still widely regarded as one of the greatest shows ever made. However, its controversial finale cast a shadow over its legacy. The drama built immense anticipation for its finale, but it was a huge letdown that triggered outrage as loud as the praise it once received. Years later, the backlash has lingered, and now one Westerosi alum has weighed in. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister throughout the show's eight-season run, is the latest cast member to reflect on the finale, and his grounded take may not be what critics want to hear.
