Thanks for the thought but from what I’ve heard from friends I’ll be keeping the final season unwatched just like I did with the last 2 episodes of GoT.

The first season was the only really good one.
Exactly, even the second one was a poor caricature.
I don't understand this at all. The episode 4 ending was up there with Dear Billy for me.
It's been a while - I remember liking the first two seasons. Season three felt a bit silly to me without going into much detail (we need a spoiler text wrapper for HN). Season four has a lot of "zombie-esque" stuff which just doesn't have near the dread horror that the first two seasons did IMHO. Haven't seen any of the final season.
Yes I also let my girlfriend skip the last two episodes. Tyrion Lannister did say "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention".
That was Ramsay Bolton who said that, I believe.
As someone who hasn't watched GoT, only heard of it from others, let me guess: In those two episodes everyone dies a very cruel and painful death, except for one or two main characters?
Everyone already died a painful and cruel death for the first four seasons, that was what made the show so compelling to watch.
From that point on, everyone gets 10 inch thick plot armour, and then the last two episodes skip a whole season or two of character development to try and box the show off quickly.

Death is not a problem in GoT, the exact opposite, it is what the show is known for.
It's the way stuff is done, the characters' changed behavior, incomprehensible logic, stupid explanations, etc.
No. Why not just watch it instead of guessing.
It’s very bad.
It really isn't. I keep seeing comparisons to the last seasons of Game of Thrones, but while there is a dip in quality this season, it is no where near as bad as what happened to GoT.
GoT got so bad that I don't really have any desire to watch any of the seasons ever again. Killed rewatchability.

They, like 7kids and 4 adults, I did not bother to count, did attack military base, with actual military trained personnel with military equipment. And they did succeed. This is not bad? They just stroll in upside down and nothing ever attacks them. Where the swarm of bats disappeared? When demogorgons attack to kidnap kids they come from upside down. But in upside down they nowhere to be seen. Military general could disappear from the series and it would have no impact. Maybe they just wanted woman in position of power? Demogorgons attack entire military base personnel and kill dozens of people but then they are killed by hospital patient. When and why she setup that trap exactly? And how she now can speak? How white goo is easy to brake but also solid enough so it does not brake under the pressure of the entire building ? How and why it just appears and solidifies in the exact right moment? And excuse me.... But wormhole? Could not they thing of something else? Oh and Vecna killing a guy. And we did not even see what was in the case. They are under strict quarantine but have personnel smuggler that can just bring them everything they want. It is not bad it is terrible.

I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, but I doubt their dialogue is so robotic and frankly just feels incredibly formulaic. It just feels like ST ran out of ideas three years ago and have just been recycling the same scene over and over and over again.
All of the characters are constantly arguing with each other. The story line requires constant suspension of belief based on the endless succession of improbable events and improbable character behaviors. Contradictions with earlier episodes and even details within the same episode. It's really bad. I hope the final episode redeems it but I have my doubts. I want to have an LLM rewrite season 5 and see how much it improves.
problem is the dialogues sounded to me anyway like they were already written by an LLM
Can you give an example of a contradiction within the same episode?
It's almost like you're living in an alternate universe where everything is just a little bit better.
