GRRM Says GoT Ending Reactions Won’t Change Winds of Winter
In an interview with Observer (via The Guardian), Game of Thrones author George RR Martin described the end of the show as “freeing,” and insisted that the controversy over the show’s ending, which many critics deemed lackluster, wouldn’t impact how he tackled writing the Winds of Winter and other A Song of Ice and Fire books.
“It doesn’t change anything at all … You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself,” Martin told Observer.
Game of Thrones’ eighth season was criticized for both its unusually short length, and for how that quickened pace seemingly fumbled up character motivations that had been boiling for the prior seven seasons. Ironically, while the show was blitzing through character arcs and plot threads, GRRM says it was a key source of why he’s been taking so long to finish Winds of Winter, the next installment in his book series that sparked the show.
Netflix’s Mindhunter: Season 2 Review
Note: this is a spoiler-free review of all nine episodes of Mindhunter: Season 2, which premiered on Netflix on Friday, August 16.
It’s been a little under two years since the first season of Mindhunter landed on Netflix and gave viewers a deep dive into the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit. It’s not hard to understand why the first season struck such a chord. The series has the benefit of being a prestige crime thriller where no less an authority than David Fincher is behind the camera on several episodes. At the same time, it also taps into the current fascination with true crime stories and the desire to understand what goes on in the mind of a cold, calculating killer. The protagonists may be fictionalized versions of real FBI agents, but the situations and the criminals are all too real. Despite some early momentum problems, Season 2 channels that same effective balance between Hollywood style and real-world stakes.
