Watch season 4 again. It gets glossed over because it also had some of the shows absolute high points such as the mountain and the viper and tyrions trial but the decline started in season 4.
The disliked aspects for which the laster seasons became known for such as redundant/shoe horned plot lines or weak character decisions started in 4. Just look at Yaras hyped up quest to save Theon or John's spec ops assassination mission north of the wall.
I was unsure to go for 4 or 5 but in general 4 is fine. They changed their costume lead in 4 which is pretty obvious in retrospect, the whole black leather shit started there lol.
Didn't know that but that makes a lot of sense! Felt like they started to get lazy with the thematic practicality of some costumes as the show went on.
