The criticism that they couldn’t maintain standards after running out of source material is a bit more complicated. In seasons 1-4 some of the great scenes were actually not in the books. And from season 5 onwards, they actually chose not to use a lot of great source material from the last two books.
It seems to me that they lost enthusiasm for it after season 3, and that this then proved fatal when they were forced to depend on the 4th and 5th books, which admittedly pose more challenges in terms of adaptation.
