i agree with you, the first 4 seasons were amazing but as the series strayed from the books it has become more style over substance.

i still really enjoyed seasons 5 & 6 but they are much worse than the previous seasons.

Where is all this hate for season 6 coming from lol?  3 of the top 5 episodes are from season 6 according to imdb.  I get that their isn't as much politics in seasons 6 but in terms of quality, it's one of the best seasons.

The greatest flaw is that the season violated the logic of the world Martin crafted. It felt like bad fan fiction of someone who enjoys the books, but doesn't understand the rules that govern them. Dorne alone makes zero sense and was insulting.

 

I put it this way. Imagine House of Cards had the President  is  assassinated and instead of the Vice President taking the role the assassin becomes president and no one mentions the president is dead. It wouldn't matter how well acted, how big a budget it had, everything would fall away because the suspension of disbelief is shattered. 

Even the battle for Winterfell felt hollow as well made as it was. The nature of battles in the books has rarely been translated properly as Martin studied actual medieval warfare but the show is Hollywood spectacle. 

I don't mind others enjoying it, but it doesn't feel like Westeros to me.
