I find a lot of the criticisms about the "serial killer" story line ruining the whole season are really overblown. There are elements of that story line that are unrealistic, but it wasn't even the main story line in the season. The depiction of the overall situation of poverty/crime as a self-perpetuating cycle were excellent.
Maybe season 5 doesn't hold up as well as the other seasons, but it's far from bad. It might be an A instead of an A+. In no way does it relate to the drop in quality in GoT.
