I still enjoy the show, but there is a lot to criticize, you really can't deny that. With so little time left it was awful of them to actually introduce a whole new plot in Winterfell just to kill off Baelish. Sansa should have figured it out without Bran or Arya and it'd have been done within an episode or two, leaving more time for the citadel, the tarlies, Varys, or Melisandre for example. The magnificent seven needed more screentime, too.
GRRM only giving major plotpoints is a big fucking problem for the show. It's not about the journey to these plotpoints anymore, it's just about the events themselves. And it's a tough thing to do, trying to get into the head of someone who probably has a clear vision of how it will turn out in the books.
