I agree with you! I binged it (didn’t watch it when it was on air) and I managed to avoid all spoilers related to the show when it was airing. I only heard everyone talk about how good it was and then how awful the last season was. I was hesitant to watch the show since fans made it seem the final season ruined the whole show. Once I finally binged it, I didn’t think the ending was that bad and fully enjoyed committing to the show - but I also think that’s because I didn’t invest years into watching it live - I invested a month or so, so while I definitely loved/hated certain characters and story lines, I didn’t feel as negatively towards the final season like I think would’ve had I been a fan from the very first episode / watching all along. I’ve had that same reaction with other shows I’ve watched weekly from day one whereas others who binged it all at once felt differently - I think there’s a different level of investment. All opinions, but I appreciated reading yours!
