They did some decent work, especially when they had some source material to build on.
For example: I don't believe any of the dialogue between Arya and Tywin from the show ever took place in the books.
Hardhome was basically all original. The Battle of the Bastards (I actually did not like that episode but it's a fan favorite). The finale where Cersei blows up the Sept was ****ing awesome. The dragon/Dothraki attack on the Lannister line in season 7.
Based on everything I've read, it appears their big issue was wanting to wrap everything up as quickly as possible with no ****s given on putting together a quality ending.
