Game of Thrones' Kit Harington reacts to the backlash over the ending; Says critics can go f*** themselves

Game of Thrones season 8 which was the finale of the iconic series was the most awaited one and the last episode was aired on Sunday but the same received a mixed response from the viewers. The reviews on the last episode on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB are the lowest and this is not all, a petition to remake season eight with "competent writers" is now talk of the town with 1.3 million signatures already on the same. And now Kit Harington who played the role of Jon Snow reacted over the negative reviews. In an interview with Esquire, Kit said that he is feeling quite defiant over the negative comments.

He said, "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 judgment on it, in my head they can go f--- themselves. 'Cause I know how much work was put into this." He also added how people cared about the show and how much much pressure people took and how many sleepless nights people went as they cared about it.

Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark also defended the show. She told New York Times that she wasn't surprised by the backlash as she thinks people always have an idea on how they want the show to end. She said, "All of these petitions and things like that — I think it's disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season."
