It’s at the point I don’t even bother, game of thrones after season 5 was so horrendous that it killed any interest in the adaptation of books anymore, so far I haven’t been proven wrong.

Plus it's clear the books themselves are never going to be finished so there's no reason to care about the setting at all. There are far better grimdark fantasies out there made by people who can actually come up with a satisfying conclusion and are willing to actually write it. You have to be realistic.

My personal favorite is Joe Abercrombie's work. His Circle of the World setting starts with The Blade Itself and consists of 3 completed trilogies and a short story collection.

Was that the season with the 'Sons of the Harpy' shit in Mareen? I always felt like something was 'off' about that season, like they were wasting my time with stupid plots that made no sense. Yeah I'm not gonna believe that a bunch of fat merchants were willing to suicidally attack a bunch of trained soldiers and somehow fucking win, literally charging with no regard for their lives like a bunch of insane zombies. That was so goddamn stupid and for me that was the moment the show jumped the shark.

I know but I’d be lying if I said I’m not going to be pre-ordering Winds of Winter when it’s announced. Although GRRM got mad because fans keep asking about that book and they don’t care as much about his other projects. Thankfully there are other more reliable authors.

And even if by some miracle he does, the last book, A Dream of Spring, damn sure is never getting written.

Season 5 was where atrocious as well. Wasn't that the season with Jaime and Bronne's trip to Dorne?

Seasons 1-4 are solid imo.
