If it became clear later on that they had understood characters like Varys or Littlefinger, I wouldn't mind those few subtle hints missing. For all we knew in the early seasons, they could still do that right, lots of small things like that were missing from episode 1. It depends on how you look at it. I'm not really disgreeing with anything, but they could've appeared simple to us then turn out smarter later on and all would be as well as it ever was imo.

To me, it's more the thought of thinking the show had somewhere to decline from.

The first season was a lot more faithful to the books, but watching it was so dull imo. They really couldn't capture the magic of the book then. So many scenes were boring despite the book scene being incredible. The world and characters are still interesting because the source material is so incredible, but being true to the books doesn't make it good. I thought they got a lot better at doing that as the early seasons progressed, which to me made them better than the first despite setting up for disaster.

I mean, it's not like the first season didn't do some stuff well too. They casted most of the characters really nicely, Osha in particular might very well be better in the show, but they began to remove characters already then too. They also killed off someone they plainly needed later on. I don't enjoy the simplifications of a bunch of characters, but I can't wrap my head around things declining after season 1 except maybe Daenarys' storyline simply because they already dropped the ball with that next season.
