Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

Dislike it because I forget what happens, but worst of all it hasn't resulted in better follow up seasons to make the wait feel worth it when it comes back and knowing that it'll be another few years before the next season. House of the Dragon has been the last show I got into since the industry shift towards higher production leading to longer gaps.

And it's felt like higher production has led to worse writing because the shows can't afford to progress the story at a decent pace.

I would much rather have better writing and acting than expensive SFX and costumes. A polished shit is still a shit.
