Ever since the premiere of the final season, the show has been receiving received widespread criticism  for what the mammoth GoT fans considered sloppy writing. Disappointed fans even signed a petition on change.org, urging makers to remake the eight season of the series “ with competent writers ”. Till now, the petition has  accumulated over 1.67 million signatures. This was followed by another petition, urging Disney to fire the duo from penning the forthcoming Star Wars’ film, reports IndieWire. Following the negative response to the film, Kit Harington stated that the criticism has been tad much and he completely disagrees with it since he realises the effort behind such a grand series. “How I feel about the show right now is quite defiant. I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season — and I don’t mean to sound mean about critics here —  but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their (negative) judgement on it, in my head, they can go f**k themselves. ‘Cause I know how much work was put into this,” said Kit, who essayed Jon Snow in the series. Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Brandon Stark in the series, termed audience complaints “absurd” and “ridiculous”. Jacob Anderson, essaying the role of Grey Worm, even said the petition “s**ks”, as per  reports in Digital Spy.
