It was extremely overrated and the hyperbole surrounding it was insane. The books are very good, the show had a lot of potential, but it always felt underwhelming to me. Season 1 is solid, season 2 is pretty mixed, S3 is slightly better, S4 is where the cracks really begin to show and then 5-8 were just awful. Defenders insist that it's more about "character and realkpolitik" but increasingly as it advanced the characters became thinner and more like caricatures, and the plots were often haphazardly put together. By the end, the "realism" was laughable: they turned the action scenes into something out of Marvel.
