The actors did all they could with what they had to work, but turds just never get shiny.
And to add to fraz's thought, it would be if Jar Jar Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy both had input to how the series should have wrapped, it was that bad.

Obviously they were nothing without Martin's source material. It wasn't helped by the fact that they tried to rush through the final season or two (the final two seasons only had a combined 13 episodes) because they apparently wanted to move onto other projects. The irony is those projects haven't actually been developed seemingly because they botched the end of GoT so badly.
Now I doubt they would have been able to stick the landing without the books to follow, but they honestly didn't even try.
