Maybe. This isn't exactly scientific, but E4 was actually the lowest rated episode of the season so far here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/bp

Those numbers do actually suggest a clear turn, but it seems to have happened going from E3 -> E4 rather than from E4 -> E5.

Hmm makes sense. Her change was telegraphed in E4.

  You can read the corresponding thread and see that not many folks there were really talking about that at the time. I think this analysis is too retroactive. E4 had many issues, particularly centering on Jaime, Brienne, Euron and the Iron Fleet, and the nonsensical nature of the Cersei negotiation. It also declined to fix issues presented by E3 (e.g., other than the funeral, it was as if the NK and WW conflict never happened, it didn't expand on Bran, etc.).
