Pure And Dishonored 

It took writers D.B Weiss and David Benioff two years to give us a promising final season. Two. Years. It was just going to be six episodes, which was short considering that all the other seasons — except season 7 — were 10 episodes. 10. 6 wasn’t enough, and even HBO wanted to give the writers more episodes. More seasons, even. However, the writers wanted to get out of the show as quickly as possible to work on other projects. This abruptness is clearly shown in this season.

From its visually stunning opening credits, which show women dancing through a forest to musical rhythms that sound almost primal, to its quiet, heartbreaking final frame, Mona Fastvold’s historical rendering of the Shaker religious movement is an experience that will stay with me for a long time.

With such a raw look at the 15th century, it seems that Disney was really trying to step outside of its element with this motion picture. 

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.
