Game of Thrones writers Dan Weiss and David Benioff have faced plenty of backlash from fans of the hit HBO series throughout season eight.
Now, new data has shown that compared to previous seasons, the eighth and final run is the least popular amongst fans.
Episode four of the season, The Last of the Starks, received the lowest rating on IMDb with a rating of less than seven out of 10.
It makes it the lowest rated episode throughout the show’s history with episode five, The Bells, the second least favourite episode.
With just one episode to go until the show comes to an end for good, will the showrunners be able to impress fans one last time?
Season six of Game of Thrones featured two episode with the highest ratings: Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter.
Other instalments which almost received a 10 out of 10 rating including The Rains of Castamere (Red Wedding) and Hardhome.
Meanwhile, season four featured the most amount of episodes with high ratings, followed by season six.
The shock ratings for the final season comes as fans have launched a petition for it to be remade. It has received more than 915,000 signatures so far.
Bran Stark star Isaac Hempstead-Wright has slammed the petition as “ridiculous”.
