Stop being cry babies. This is still GOAT tier television, and you've been hopelessly spoiled by TV shows' increased quality over the last decade and a half if you think otherwise. Can you fucking imagine turning on the TV in 1994 and seeing this? Although the camp of Xena and Hercules was and is endearing, get a fucking grip and realize how fortunate we are to be watching GoT as it is. Might the show disappoint after such a superbly strong start? Sure, maybe-- but whatever, the books will be great, and the show not living up to the books and the first few seasons of the show leaves a ton of room for it to still be top tier entertainment.
