Basically, I can see why to bookreaders the show got off the rails in season2. But for a show-only watcher, the decline only became really apparent in season 5. Before then the show was at least consistent with itself and fantastic to watch. I could still accept that some characters were just different (maybe even better in some cases. But thats an opinion and not a fact. Sorry Tywin)

Though even then I had a few scenes to wonder about.. Like Jaime and Cersei in the crypt.
And knowing what happened in the books.
I'd argue that sticking to the source material halfway ruined the character arc for Tyrion more then if they had done it all away.
By now both Tyrion and Shae were way more sympathetic than their book counterparts. But they still drove towards their final scene in the books even though it made far less sense.
Them (for some entirely unknown reason) dropping the Tysha subplot was just the icing on the cake.
I mean the confrontation with Tywin is still a great scene, but its not as great as it could have been.
