This show is horrible. It’s not even an adaptation. Completely off script, so much stuff that doesn’t even make sense. Plot holes galore, terrible screen writing and directing. If you’re going to spend 10mil an episode at least try. It’s hard to describe the disgust as each episode furthered the farce that it’s based off the books. It’s like the writes flipped through the pages and picked names off pages and wrote the travesty that is this series. I can only hope the 2nd season is better but I don’t have high hopes. If you haven’t read the books, do it! They’re a beautiful tapestry put together that will keep your mind occupied and your imagination can run wild. The tv series doesn’t even come close.
