It's amazing that people give this a one or two star. As a TV show independent from its Origins, it is fantastic. Unfortunately many of the low scores come from individuals who have played the game and read the books. This is the same issue that we had with Lord of the rings and the Tolkien purists. It's too bad that these such individuals can't separate the two. I think they should have two scores, one score for its quality and the second score for its authenticity. Giving a good show like this a one or two is tragic and deceiving. I hope to God that they continue making this series for years to come.
