The show is legendary for the first 4 seasons, then still very good for the second half. There are some major plot contrivances in the last couple of seasons, but the acting and effects remain very strong throughout.

Most of the shortcomings are the pacing and the writing in the latter half, and that's because the original author of the novels, George R.R. Martin, took literally forever to write the next book. Thus the show ran out of his material.

When it directly pulls dialogue from GRRM's writing, it can't be beat. When the show's writers try to replicate the style, it....... sometimes works.

Agree with all this.

You'll see more negativity online because that's just how people are on the internet.
