They glorification of Tyrion isn't all too bad as long as he's in King's Landing considering most of the scenes are adapted from his POV chapters. It's not very clear to the reader either a lot of times that he's not as good at everything as it occasionally seems in his chapters. I didn't get the idea everything was going too well for him. The problem comes later.

I think the big issue is that when you closely examine the text, you get a better understanding of the subtle politics that fly above Tyrion's head -- an appreciation for the true masterminds like Littlefinger and Varys.

if you closely examine the show... well... things don't turn out so well for varys OR littlefinger.

so yeah the problem does come later, but this is really the start of the problem. they created 'popcorn' versions of very complicated characters, which did a GREAT job in causing this show to explode in popularity during its peak. show only people were okay with this because they were experiencing the great plot and story for the first time, they didn't notice that the characters had been gutted. the issue is that once the plot and the story were gone, people finally started to question the characters as well. this is why show only people only started to think the show was bad in later seasons.

and maybe they are right. it's all subjective. do you think a show with an interesting story and simplified characters is good? then yes, the early seasons are still good. but if you ask me when did the show START to decline, it's very clear to me -- it started when they started simplifying characters and getting more comfortable changing plots, almost always for the worse.
