I quite enjoyed it. It was too dark, but I don't think that massively impacted my enjoyment.
Where I do have a little but of a complaint though is in some areas (particularly in the scenes with Danny and the Night king, they managed to make the CGI look like they'd gone back to the 90s.. The fire (something they've traditionally done with in GoT) was particularly unconvincing in places.
Also, I know that they get headlines, but I wish Hollywood would stop with the massive battle sequences. I find that to get emotionally involved with a scene, I have to care about the characters (whether I like or hate them, I have to feel something). I find it hard to care about hundreds of thousands of CGI characters, even when I can see them properly (which thanks to the lighting, I couldn't). Obviously, I care about the main characters in GoT (I like all of them, good or bad), but it was hard to focus on them.
That said, I enjoyed both the battle and episode (especially the music). Not sure about the ending. Part of me thinks Arya killing the Night King could lead to interesting storylines, but part of me was reminded of all those endings in the New Doctor Who where he was facing the end of the known universe and just pushed a button to solve it.
