Yeah, agreed, I'd say the derailing really started around season 5. They did a great job up through A Storm of Swords. The 4th and 5th books are sorta tougher nuts to crack - absolutely rich with good stuff, but the pacing changes and the scope of the story widens. Those books are a bit difficult to get through on a first read, but _wildly_ amenable to a second reading (in Feastdance order if you really wanna experience it the best way possible).

I'm a big fan of those last two books but can see how they'd be tough to adapt well, especially for a show that exploded in popularity like GoT did.

The problem is that the war was over when Dani lands with three full dragons, the Dothraki, and the Unsullied but the series wasn't. The logical end there is a Lannister-que and it took a lot of ridiculousness to make it something else.
