So I haven't done a rewatch recently because after the final seasons I saw no reason to subject myself to it again. But doing a quick look through of IMDB episodes, season 5 is where there is no recovery from the downward spiral. Like there are some really good episodes in terms of cinematography, but the story is in a spiral that point. There are really good episodes like Hardhome or the season 6 finale that do interesting things, but the show is on a major decline at that point.

I can't pinpoint the exact peak of the show though as I don't remember all the episodes perfectly. The writing was the best in season 1, I feel like, but the overall story was probably more interested in seasons 2-3 or maybe 4. I'd have to do another rewatch to give an exact answer. Seasons 5-6 are far lower in quality than the first four and 7-8 are straight garbage. So I guess my answer for now would be season 5 as the writing in that one took such a nosedive that it became obvious it wouldn't recover. Dunno where the precise peak happens at though so that isn't quite what you're asking.
