When I rewatch GOT, I always fast forward through the Dorne scenes.

I work at home on the laptop and put shows on for background noise. I'll hold my nose and let the final season play through, but if I see Dorne I stop working and fast forward.

Just keep fast forwarding through the end while you’re at it, all downhill from there

Don't fast forward the scene with Bronn in the dornish jail though

The fight with the sand snakes is top tier unintentional comedy.

For me it’s the Arya in Bravos scenes

Eventually, so did the show.

The show fell apart when they ran of textual material and started working from Martin's draft outline.
They didn't do themselves any favors by trying to expand the scope of what they were trying to show.
All of Dorne's relevant activities (particularly the way they ended up handling it) could have been about 12 lines of dialogue during scenes of exposition - conversations between Littlefinger, Varys and Tyrion. It would have saved money by not filming that shite and allowed for more screen time for King's Landing, The Wall, etc.
The other logistical challenge they just didn't think of was casting all those kids and knowing it was going to be 8 years before they finished. That was a disaster for suspending disbelief. Wouldn't have been fatal if the writing had not fallen off a cliff.
tl;dr - Dorne was a symptom, not a problem

Dorne actually has one of the best scenes in the entire series...

Dorne and Bravos…so a lot of forwarding unfortunately.

Are you trying to proclaim that you're the first person who predicted the decline of Game of Thrones on here? 
Come on.
Come on.

When D&D cut Stoneheart, I knew it was going to end poorly. I did not think they could approach "Worst Ending to a Series, Ever," but here we are. And Jon Snow still doesn't want it.

D&D screwed up plenty of storylines not just Dorne. Euron was interesting and creepy in the books and he’s jack sparrow in the show just as one other example.

I’ve recently been getting clips of seasons 1-3 on Facebook, I forgot how damn good this show truly was and how much damage they did to it by the end. F**k they really freakin sank this ship deep.

Truthfully this is what I fast forward every time. Most anything related to Bran.

When I rewatched Breaking bad, I always fast forwarded through the scenes that featured Walt's family.
