What is your opinion about Game of Thrones Season 8?

I have read the books and I just binged the entire series and I feel like the series is somewhat boring and it just lacks in so many ways that I feel like the entire situation is not completely explained.
What do you guys think?

The TV series started out great but for me it really started to tank around Season 5 (once the show had covered up through Storm of Swords). Beyond that the show writing just became a clusterfuck. Those that watch and haven't read the books might be shocked to find that there is actually significant plot development that occurs in Dornish chapters, haha.

However even with the huge drop in quality I still thought seasons 5 and 6 were okay. 7 had it's moments. 8 has been laughably bad and I don't expect that to improve with the final episode. I'll still have to watch it though...have come too far.

@SW-User yeah. Since you've wasted so many hours, why not waste one more.
I had read the books a long time ago and didn't wanna watch the series, was actually waiting for the next book to come out. But it didn't, so I revised everything and watched the show from Season 6.
And yes, the Dornisb could've brought a lots of twists in the show. I liked them. It's sad how they were caught and imprisoned by Cersie. They had potential.
And today's episode was so fucked up. Everyone was kebabed!

@Gettingthere I do hate the fact that the more major plot points of the ending could possibly spoil what happens in the books but the journey there is going to be so much different. I've been keeping up with this series since the late 90's and feel like I'm going to need to give the books another read once the show is done just so I can get the real plot back on my brain, lol.

Yes you must, start from the third book.
The first two seasons are on the same line as the bool

@Gettingthere Seasons 3 and 4 I thought did a pretty good job of covering the plot from Storm of Swords. I think Season 4 just happened to be the first instance where we saw the show was just going to eliminate certain major characters from the books.

@SW-User ohh! I haven't watched those seasons. But they shouldn't have done that
