I had just happened to watch a video the other day about all the hanging plot threads from the show ending, and I think that's what bothers me. With any epic story, odds are that normally no ending could ever live up to what our hopes are, especially at an individual level, but there are now so many questions we'll never get answers to and characters some of us invested many years of our lives thinking about just got done so dirty. Brienne, Jaime, The Hound, Varys, Littlefinger, the Children of the Forest, anyone from Dorne or the Iron Islands, the Facless Men. Everything just got such a weak wrap up. For so many people and events that got a huge emotional buildup, nothing seemed to matter for any character in the end. It feels like the showrunners lost interest as much as GRRM did and called it a day.
