It's incredibly lazy and thinks the audience is stupid and doesn't care about anything but shocking deaths, nudity, and fight scenes. its an expensive show, if thats what you mean by really good. There used to be only enough stupid things that they could be laughed off or ignored, but now its virtually entirely stupid things. Like yeah, it sucked back in season 3 having to sit through garbage like theons torture arc, but the bulk of each episode was good. It was a pretty good signal that the future wasn't bright for the show that almost every bit that wasn't lifted directly from the books were of noticeably lower quality, and the guys running the show say shit like "creatively, it made sense to us, because we wanted it to happen", like its insulting having two dudes with absolutely no vision or understanding of this world being the ones crafting it for us. If this show was like xena warrior princess or hercules then sure I would laugh it off for being dumb, but my enjoyment of this show is not supposed to be derived from it being campy and bad.
