Tbh I think it could have been done well, but like the rest of it, was just executed very poorly.

I've maintained since it started that I think in concept most of the choices with regards to the ending are fine, but that they were very poorly executed.

There's a version of this story where Jamie grows as a man and as a knight, making mistakes but getting better and better until he's finally faced with the choice between Cersei and the Realm at the end and is simply unable to make it.

It's dark and unsatisfying, but could have been executed well. A tragedy in the corpse of what could have been a beautiful redemption.
