So glad it's over. I could stomach the "new" Guardians, but the art is 50% of the appeal to me, and the artist thought high-school watercolors could make a comic book. The Blackstar plot was over-the-top, and the deus ex machina was the fact it took place in an alternative DC universe! Hyper-Man and Woman and Son were a nice nod to the 1970s, but still overblown. Reverse-Hal Jordan from the Antimatter Universe? Bleah. And the last two issues of Year Two - ugh.
Writers know how to use Hal Jordan in a summer-blockbuster Crisis. Day-to-day monthly issues? Not so much. The hot/cold relationship with Carol Ferris, or just dump her the moment something else comes up for Hal. The never-changing "Frenemy" relationship with Sinestro. Is Hal Jordan the Ultimate GL? (Well, no, there are other GLs better than Hal - Sodam Yat, Kyle-as-Ion, Sinestro, etc.) So Morrison tried to make every The Green Lantern a mini-crisis. Didn't work out so well.
I count Morrison as a two-year bad dream. The only legacy items are Hal's "special" ring, as well as the "new" GL battery from the "new" Guardians.

I enjoyed the first couple of issues, but the series quickly became an unreadable, UNentertaining MESS. It was a chore to get through most of those issues. Morrison in retrospect was a HORRIBLE fit for Green Lantern.

I don't miss it in the sense that I wanted it to continue, but that doesn't mean that I'm not a fan. Liam Sharp is one of my favorite artists, and I liked the bizarre direction that Morrison took Hal's story. However, after reading the two seasons, I felt like Morrison had said all that he wanted to say for the time being.
