Yeah, it’s not that the later (and especially the last) seasons were lesser quality, it’s that it made rewatching the whole show pointless. Before every new season I rewatched the whole thing. Loved it.
Now, even when I think that I’d like to rewatch it sometime I realize there is no point in doing that. It sucked the enjoyment out of everything that came before.

Yes, thank you for articulating what I was trying to say! I also used to do an annual rewatch, now I will still forget and try to watch the first season again, but after a few minutes of watching things that have no impact on the story whatsoever I realize there’s no point. It’s a shame because the books are genuinely really great, but it’s a lot easier these days to watch a show then to crack open a book.
