Season 3 ruined the tone down the road for the rest of the show and people isn’t ready to accept that because is a fun season.
Which is sad because it IS a fun and good season as a hole separate entity who would have been fine if the show had ended there. It even could have been a great final season if focused as one. But, from the moment it wasn’t, it became a turning point from visuals to tone that carried into season 4 (even if it almost came back for a second) and ended with the mess of season 5.
Rewatching season 1 and 2 after the final season is truly mourning what could have been a generational show like HP was in the 2000’s that might end up as GoT.
