HBO's Game of Thrones had a notoriously unsatisfying ending, but in the years since the finale, many fans have revised their estimations of when the series went off the rails. The fantasy series started out strong, not least of all because it stuck closely to its source material, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. It's an oversimplification to say that adaptations fail when they don't stick to the books, but for Game of Thrones it's more or less true. The show began to break away from Martin's plot in Season 4, then went wildly off-book in Season 5. Two of Season 5's story lines broke the narrative irretrievably: Sansa Stark's (Sophie Turner) marriage to Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) and Jaime Lannister's (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) adventure in Dorne.
