The writing. It feels like bad fan fiction and is at odds with established characters and world building. The characters are not clever or smart now, they do what the writers need to get them to point B. Rather than deal with consequences of a complex and interconnected world, they just kill people off for cheap shock value. The prime example is how poorly Dorne was botched from being this major story component with political intrigue to...just have the Sand Snakes kill the Martells.
It comes across as lazy and completely at odds of what A Song of Ice and Fire set out to be, a grand fantasy epic that felt grounded in mideval history.
That's not even getting into how badly characterization of people like Jaime is 180 degrees from his book arc away from Cersei showing his complexity. No, keep him simple and stupid. That amazing bath house scene meant nothing, he's right back to season 1.
I'm critical because I care and saw how brilliant the work could be that just a shame to see how without Martin's work to prop it up it really doesn't feel special anymore.
