6/10
Not a 1/10 at all

Warning: Spoilers
Clearly it was not the finale this series deserved, but a lot of people seem to be more angry than objective here.

Were we very hyped about this season? We were. Was it dissapointing? Maybe. Was it CRAP? Not at all.

Most of all agree that the problems were not the things that happen (for example, the idea of a mentally broken and desperate Dany is not bad at all), but the way and how everything happened (the breakdown was very rushed).

Not good character development in this season, we are all on the same page here.

On the other hand, the cinematography of this complete season is beautifull, the score is on point as well, art production is amazing, acting is pretty good, directing is quite good as well. The problem was not the production itself but the writing, and considering writters had to finish everything on 6 episodes, you kind of need to rush a bit. Of course, THIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY a mediocre -or not great- final product, but a lot of people seem to hate everyone involved and just rush to rate a 1 without apreciating the beautiful work we have seen. About the rushed writting, it probably was a budget issue, or maybe not, I really don't know. The final product is clearly not great, but considering writing is not EVERYTHING (it is a HUGE part tho, we can debate about that), this is a very interesting episode, VERY well shot, pretty good directed, and it had a few memorable highlights as well. I really suggest you rewatch it, and try to be as objetive as you possibly can, cause in my opinion a 1/10 seems to me like a complete effortless piece of garbage with NOTHING good in it. As I suggested, maybe you expected wat too much, we all did! but taking the hype aside, was it really Dragonball Evolution level? I'll rewatch the episode soon, so my perspective of it could change and I may delete this review on a few days.
