And I remember there were just more interesting dynamics being formed in the first few episodes of GOT.

I don't think even in Season 8 would I say that GOT was uneventful.I

Edit... I'd also say that GOT had really sharp dialogue that most newer Shows really lack imo.

Yes but Game of Thrones was a much wider scale book series/show, HOTD is literally about one family, a family we got to know briefly from GOTs and a lot of people wanted to see a bit more of their history etc they'd pretty much been completely wiped out by the end of GOTs
