Note: This article contains major spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 5 'The Bells'.

It's one of the biggest shows in the history of television. The approach of winter will never be viewed the same way.

But, nobody gets everything right all the time. And it seems that the latest episode in the final season of Game of Thrones hasn't quite delivered for fans.

According to review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 'The Bells' is the lowest-rated episode in the show's history to date, with a 50% score at time of writing.

The site's own summary of the critics' consensus states that "too much plot in too little time muddles the story and may leave some viewers – and maybe Cersei – feeling its conclusions are a little unearned".

Twitter is currently more ablaze than King's Landing, with many people also claiming that the showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have 'ruined' the characters of Daenerys Targaryen and Jaime Lannister with last night's plot developments.

The final season has been a hugely divisive one so far, with people criticising the writing and plot now that it has moved away from George RR Martin's books, and the rushed pacing.

The jury's still out on how this one's going to end – and end it will in just a few days' time...
