We got to see the Night King's wrath for one whole episode after such a buildup. The very first episode of the series is literally titled "Winter is Coming".

Winter is coming could have also just been a metaphor for the bigger picture.
Also happens to be the episode were Robert and Cersei "come" to Winterfell for the first time, and starts the show down the path to Bran becoming the Three Eyed Raven.
I do think that more will be explained before the end of the series and it will become a little more clear when this is all done.
The Night King may have always felt like the biggest threat, but personally I've never once felt like this series was about him or the White Walkers. It was always about the other people.
