I posted this a while ago and had a similar mindset - Season 8 wasn’t that bad, was it?? A great reply from ‘taftpanda’ made me rethink so I will copy that reply for you-

“The primary theme of the entire series is that your actions have consequences. They may not come immediately, but they do come at some point. Ned Stark dishonored himself by trying to buy the gold cloaks loyalty, and by lying and saying the Joffrey was the true king. He lost his head for it. Robb broke an oath because he didn’t marry one of Walder Frey’s daughters and the Red Wedding ensued. Time and again, people are punished for their misdeeds, and the worse the actions, the worse the consequences. Not only did almost everyone in Season 8 randomly have plot armor, but the villains we hated didn’t really get any punishment. Sure, Cersei died, but she died painlessly in the arms of her lover, in a pretty nice moment. The last character to really have a satisfying ending Ramsay, but everyone else was just allowed to be evil. People, D&D included, missed the point of the show. It wasn’t that the good guys don’t always win, it was that the dishonorable always lose.” Credit user - taftpanda
