Fans of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" responded to the decrease in the rating of the fifth episode.
A conflict has erupted on IMDb between fans of «A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms» and «Breaking Bad». After the fifth episode of «Knight» titled «In the Name of the Mother» received 10/10, «Breaking Bad» fans began to lower its rating. In response, «Knight» fans began massively lowering the rating of the iconic episode «Ozymandias», which led to a drop in the score from 10 to 9.9.
This conflict caused a sharp increase in the number of negative reviews and ratings of 1 and 2 points for both series. IMDb users directly state that their actions are revenge for the "sabotage" of the new show's rating. "For Dunk and Egg," write «Knight» fans, lowering the ratings of «Breaking Bad», while «Breaking Bad» fans give ones with the comments "For Heisenberg."
Currently, the rating of the fifth episode of «A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms» is 9.7, against the background of a sharp surge of negative reviews on IMDb. Despite active efforts to defend the honor of the series, it is more difficult for «A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms» fans to bring down the rating of «Breaking Bad», since «Ozymandias» has accumulated more than 300 thousand ratings in 13 years, while the fifth episode of «Knight» has only 89 thousand.
Meanwhile, heated discussions continue online. Viewers continue to fight for fair ratings of their favorite series. It is unknown how long this "struggle" will last, but some users note that such a "war" may harm the new show more than «Breaking Bad» itself, which has already received worldwide recognition and a number of prestigious awards.
