Peter Dinklage recently shared his thoughts on why he liked the final season of the hit HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones. Dinklage played Tyrion Lannister in all eight seasons of the show and was one of the main characters throughout the entire series. 

However, when it ended after its eighth season, many fans were disappointed, criticizing the unresolved storylines, and character arcs that felt inconsistent. Despite the controversy, several cast members, including Dinklage, have since expressed their love for the series' ending. Read on further to know more details!


In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Peter Dinklage opened up about his latest Western thriller film, The Thicket, and shared reasons why he liked the Game of Thrones finale. The actor had previously made similar remarks about the series, which upset some fans who remained disappointed by the ending, and the outlet asked him about the same. 

Dinklage said, "Again, just my opinion. I like the finale! You don’t have to agree with me." The actor told the outlet that if he had claimed to agree with the negative opinions about the finale, saying something like, "Yeah, I hated the finale, and the whole last season was horrible," it would have sounded much worse than his honest admission of loving it.

Peter Dinklage further expressed how incredibly proud he is of Game of Thrones and his character, noting that he still has great affection for the show's creators, David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
