It's no secret that the last season of "Game of Thrones" has had its share of critics. In fact, a petition aimed at redoing season eight with "competent writers" now has more than 1.3 million signatures.
But if viewers complained of the winner of the throne in the final, the fact that drink containers were left on the set and even the dim light of various scenes, those who participated in the production of the series did not take long to defend themselves.
Kit Harington, who has played Jon Snow for eight years, did not hold back in an interview with Esquire in April – before the final – when he was asked about the critics of the series.
"What I'm feeling about the series right now is rather challenging," he said at the time. "I think it does not matter what somebody thinks of this season – and I do not want to sound mean about the critics here – but whatever the critic spends half an hour writing on this season and wearing his judgment on it, in my head — themselves because I know how much work has been devoted to it.

"I know how much people cared about that," Harington continued. "I know how much people are putting themselves under pressure and how many sleepless nights have worked or otherwise, people have had this show, because they cared so much about that." Because they cared characters because they cared about history because they are anxious not to let people down. "
Although Harington's interview in Esquire took place before the finale, he's not the only actor to challenge the critical response to the now iconic series.
Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark for eight seasons, recently defended the series in front of the New York Times. She said that she was not surprised by the backlash because the fans "always have an idea in mind of how they want a show to end" and sometimes "in speak and rebel "when it does not suit them.
"All these petitions and things like that – I find that it's disrespectful to the team, the writers and filmmakers who worked tirelessly for 10 years and who shot for 11 months the last season, "she said. "Fifty or so night shootings, so many people have worked so hard, and throwing them in the trash because it's not what they want is disrespectful."

Hempstead Wright, who played Bran Stark, said Hollywood Reporter that the petition was "absurd".
"I can not even understand, it's ridiculous," he said. "It's ridiculous that people think that they can simply ask for a different end because they do not like it. I stupidly took it personally enough, which I Obviously should not, in my opinion, it's an excellent ending. "
