The Sand Snakes in S5 were the start of GoT's decline. It somewhat recovered in S6 with the Sparrows but then went off the rails and fell flat in S7 and S8. Feels like the writers were great at adapting GRRM's first 3 books, but struggled with the next 2, and completely flopped the unwritten conclusion.
I'm optimistic for HotD since GRRM finished the story and is involved in the production.
