Even if you don't watch Game of Thrones, you'll have no doubt seen the uproar over the eighth and final season of the show. The series, which is culminating in the final ever episode on Monday 20th May, is squeezing its normal 10 episodes into just six - which are, admittedly around 20 minutes longer than usual.

But even with that in mind, many fans have been left divided over the recent five episodes, with some saying that there hasn't been enough story development, and as a result, some of the more shocking elements of the show feel slightly unwarranted.

Some viewers of the show feel so strongly about the episodes that they've taken to Change.org to create a petition, asking for the show's final season to be remade with different writers.

The page, created by a user named Dylan D, reads, 'This series deserves a final season that makes sense. Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!'

Indeed, show creators David Benioff & D.B. Weiss were left to clarify the actions and decisions of one of its main characters, Daenerys Targaryen, after the fifth episode saw her go completely against her normal behaviour.

David said, "I think that when she says, ‘Let it be fear' she's resigning herself to the fact that she may have to get things done in a way is horrible to lots of people. She chose violence. A Targaryen choosing violence is a pretty terrifying thing."

The opinions of the petitioners appear to be backed up by critics, who have taken to website Rotten Tomatoes to give 'The Bells' a rating of just 47%, which makes it the lowest-rated episode in the series.
