Sorry, but I have to give my opinion on this show now after hanging in for season 7.
Is it decent? Yeah. But at season 7, that's all it is: decent. With impressive graphics.
** Seasons 1-4, even 5 & 6 were good.**
This show got me hooked in seasons 1-4, 5, and some great episodes at the end of 6, but after watching what happened tonight on the supposed climactic season finale, I have to say that most of the things I liked about the show barely exist anymore, and the things I didn't like about the show have become more dominant now. And for this to all happen in the season finale just solidifies it because this is their chance to end with a bang and what matters most to them. So this is it.
Leaks Destroy a Mediocre Script
Also, the show is not good enough to survive the leaks it releases. If it was good enough, the spoilers might not impact the viewing experience, but the most mediocre spoiler release really impacts what has become a mediocre show. Thank users on this site like Leo Red Keep and komrad for that.
*Bright Spots *
On a bright note, I must say that the acting of Lena Headey and Jaime's actor, Tyrion's at times, and Dany's at times really give the show credibility, and the scenery of course is great. also, the music is usually good and on point. But overall, the direction that the show has gone in during and after this season has made me lose interest. I was really into the show after a binge watch, but because I binged it, the direction the show was headed in was a sure thing, and then suddenly it abruptly changed and is like a completely different show all of a sudden. it makes much of what I watched for 5 seasons seem irrelevant in a way.
** It Fails in Direction and Plot Development**
It's all about the direction. The plot really got mashed up at some point and it no longer has the occasional magic it once did. I guess my point in summation is that I was going to give this show a fair chance to see if it was really as great as the hype and people raved about, and it in fact did impress me for 5 seasons and the climax of season 6, but with the direction it has gone in season 7, it looks like another show that ruined itself in the end, the final season or two, which is the case for most tv shows. Danaerys and tyrion are fractions of the usual selves at this point, all for plot set up, and they were two of my favorites. The night king and the wall scene at the end, while impressive with graphics, was silly.
** Enough With the Zombie Apocalypse-to much time allocated to that side of the story & other forced elements**
The whole zombie thing never interested me, and from season 1 I always thought it was the weakest link. Now it has taken center stage and there's no turning back. The Snow-Dany romance is one of the most "forced" romances I've ever seen. It never had a natural ambiance to it so whatever. I'm just not interested in this show anymore.
And I guess my case and point is that it is not on the level of Breaking Bad, unless you are a big fan of fantasy series and fantasy stuff, which I'm not. Sure, two different genres, to be fair, but this show is just not "that" good. I don't think I'll be watching in season 8, at least not until after it airs I might binge watch it after.
Sorry for the rant. Just got done watching the finale and wanted to vent all my feelings here. If you made it this far, feel free to agree or disagree, or leave your comments about how you feel about the show.
Cheers.

Yo Heisenberg , quit hacking all of my GoT's thoughts and opinions and posting them as your own damn it!! I have nothing left to post now, pffffttt!🦐. I'm joking about the hacking, but our opinions are sure as hell exactly the same, although I do have to say that the Night King and his army of the dead were always the endgame as was previously mentioned by @WalkenOnSunshine. I'm not exactly happy at all about the scene where the blue flames, from that undead bastard of a dragon, just literally melted this 1,000' wall of ice that's stood for like a bazillion years irrc. Uhm forced action much lately GoT's writers? They really had to cram all of that into 7 episodes, that content needed to be stretched out into 10 episodes, at least that would've given the possibility of geographical logic and possibly a better plan for snatching a walker🤔 Idk of a worse possible plan than the one they chose, that was damn near Three Stooges material.

I'm actually a fan of the show. I just didn't like season 7 compared to earlier seasons, or the recent finale. It's nothing personal.

MSOK is right, you sound like you're on your period.
and fyi, i don't care much for GoT, but BB is the most childish, derivative crap I've ever seen.
In addition to the lame teenage, fan service scenes MSOK already mentioned - giant magnet, auotomated machine gun, train heist etc - the most pathetic had to be Gus walking out of a room that had just blown up, looking like the Terminator, straightening his tie. Your fanboy rants on the BB board sound like those flamers that hang out on the Beyonce board going on and on about Katy Perry (who no doubt you listen to).
