7. She was loved on 'Game of Thrones,' so while I don't doubt there are the miserable "haters," is it not the loss of Joel

that is the problem? Admittedly, I know nothing about the game, but I no longer want to watch the show after his departure so early in the season. Now, the show just reminds me of all those "Walking Dead" sequels--most without or at least with few lead characters. I don't find any of those left compelling enough to carry the show--and that takes nothing away from Bella Ramsey. I do admit that they made her character act out really nastily toward Joel as the season began, and it was hard to watch--just very unpleasant facial expressions that they used in the promos and thus "stuck" with the viewer.

Whatever. HBO-Max made a big mistake.
