The issue with GoT is that the weak finish starts in about Season 5, when so many plot lines go completely off the rails, and everyone sticks with it in the hopes that they will be resolved in a reasonable way. You think: "Surely, there's some kind of payoff or consequences to <important, logic-defying event>. After all, in this universe, one person being killed triggers <an avalanche of world-changing things in seasons 1 and 2>".

To everyone's surprise, there isn't any payoff, and there aren't any consequences.

It was not really a surprise. As you said things went off the rails for a while already, that was a sign of a bad ending early on. When I saw how quickly they wrapped the Night King in Season 8 I knew all hopes were lost for a good ending.
