I don't even know where to start but I'll keep it brief. It's so bad. I'm a fan of the books and don't have a problem with changing plot points in a tv adaptation, IN THEORY, but they're changing so much and for seemingly no reason, it just doesn't make sense. They've left out crucial scenes and characters for no apparent reason. The pacing is TERRIBLE. No time is spent on making us care about the characters and instead the main focus is on upping the edginess, for no reason in terms of plot. Side characters are given way too much screen time to the detriment of everyone else. Oh my God it's just so bad.
