Game of Thrones had a horrible final season. The first six seasons were maybe the best in all of television. It's rare for a TV series to be excellent and stay excellent it's entire life. This doesn't really seem unique to Netflix. There's a ton of movies, shows, books - where the first installment is outstanding and the rest are trash. My favorite example as a kid was Maze Runner. The first book has terrible prose - but is actually pretty well paced and a good story. The second two are utter garbage (fun fact: the editor quit after the first book AND the publisher dropped the author when the first one was the next best selling sci Fi / fantasy since Harry Potter... That's how bad the sequels were). This happens more times than not.
