Season 6 was a natural culmination of previous events that GRRM tried to get to but couldn't because the plot got away from him and he couldn't stop himself from introducing pointless characters like fake Aegon who seems to only exist because GRRM was buttmad that everyone guessed his super secret Jon related plot point in book 1.
Everything after s6 derailed HARD though and is what people mean when they say diverged from GRRMs work. And you can tell because suddenly characters no longer behaved like they had for the previous seasons and the seams started cracking because they were hell bent on rushing to the conclusion.
I still maintain that GoT up to Jon retaking Winterfell and Dany setting sail to reclaim her birthright and Cersei going mad queen and blowing up the Pope and all of her enemies and her last son committing suicide because of it is easily some of the best TV there is, and if you just watch it to there you will be content and satisfied.
It's what I did. Skipped 7 and 8 because I felt the story was satisfying and they wouldn't be able to top it. Only Watched 7 and 8 at my wife's insistence because she just had to know what happened next ... and to this day wish I
It can be hard to end shite well. I suppose that's why GRRM still hasn't finished the books. For me, the ending season didn't take the shine off of what had been, up to that point, one of the greatest viewing experiences of all time. But maybe that's just me.
And just to be clear, I think the ending suuuuucked.

I read an article a few years back discussing this. That Martin has got himself stuck as he had done such a great job building the story arcs but made it so much harder to bring them to their finish. That to each character justice it will take a lot of work to finish their arc.
Why GOT failed in the last 2 seasons has so many great characters never got the ending they deserved.
