I'm coming around to most of the way the series ended. The half-assed disposal of the White Walker / 3ER / Jon storyline will always be unforgivable. But at least the final episode did give Bran and Jon a purpose. The Bran selection by committee thing was a bit bizarre and rushed, but it at least made Bran something other than a plot device to show flashbacks. Likewise, Jon's arc received a meaningful end - his final act with Dany and Drogon was terrific - and his final disposition was satisfying (but why is there still a Night's Watch?!)
Dany was resolved in the best way possible, all things considered. Brienne's bit with the book was touching and another good resolution. The final small council meeting was a perfect farewell to those characters.
I'm even coming around on Jamie and Cersei. I wanted something more dramatic, but there was a poetic justice in Cersei's end. And Jamie's end makes his arc all the more tragic and compelling. Even as he evolved to see Cersei for who she really was, he couldn't stop loving her and trying to protect her. That's why he rode north - not to abandon her but to protect her - and that's why he returned south.
Even Sansa and Arya were not completely insufferable in the finale.
Agree this all would have come together a bit better, especially Dany's abrupt transformation and the final committee, had it all not been so rushed.
Questions...
Who wrote the book Sam presents at the end, and how the hell could Tyrion not even be mentioned? I get that it's supposed to be funny, but the dude was Jeoffrey's hand, then convicted of murdering Jeoffrey, then murdered Tywin Lannister, then became the Mad Queen's hand... how is it even possible that he wouldn't be mentioned?
What are Jon and Tormund doing at the very end? Going AWOL with the Free Folk, or just resettling them? And is that green sprig in the snow plus the FF headed north supposed to mean that spring has arrived? It doesn't look like Jon's aged a day so I guess it wasn't a long winter after all?
