The Leftovers is so good! Its an emotional show, especially season 1.
I don't think any of the storylines worked for me this season. Cersei's storyline made little sense . Euron took care of the dornish for her and Danny's fleet with little explanation as to how . The lannister army managed to someone destroy the tyrell army which should have been the largest army with very little cost. The winterfell storyline ended brilliantly but made no sense in terms of characterisation the entire season. Jon's plan made no sense either. He goes beyond the wall with no plan on a suicide mission that in previous seasons would have failed for how stupid it was. What was the point of Sam even going to the citadel ? What did we learn and how did he grow as a character ? Tyrion's plan made no sense either.
What annoyed me this season is that the characters knew things they shouldn't have and didn't know things they should have. All of the intrigue and characterisation that formed the basis of the show , the little things that made the bigger things more impactful in previous seasons was gone. I could go on and on like this.
It's a shame because everything was the best it ever was this season, the visuals, the costumes, the music, the spectacle, and it was all let down by the writing. It was lazy. Too lazy to work out that saying jorah has to leave the citadel in 24 hours would mean that Sam cured him in 24 hours. They could have removed that line and we might have believed it took weeks for jorah to be cured. The set up of the ticking time bomb scenario where Danny rides north could have been dealt with very easily. If Jamie had emerged from the water without his armour we might have believed that he slipped out of it underwater and that's why he survived.
I really believe the writers have checked out. They want out. And the smaller things don't matter as much . Let's just rush to these big story points and it doesn't matter how we get there.
Lastly the stakes. There were no stakes to the battles we lost noone we cared about . Each previous season we mourned someone but not this season.
As for littlefinger, his death was telegraphed the whole season. If they wanted to show us a man blinded to danger by love they needed to do more groundwork
Dear Lord that take on the arya fight. Look, if the storyteller wants their story to be compelling they have an obligation to actually fully explain the how. In this case the showrunners didn't take the time to show us where arya learned to fight like that. They did a skimpy but acceptable job of showing her become an assassin, not a swordsman.
