Forget the negative reviews from the people who are in love with the books. I put down the books because he is so incredibly verbose, not needing 1000 pages to tell a 400 page story. This is the best thing on TV since Game of Thrones! The story and the production values are outstanding! Can’t wait for season two! It’s probably safe to say that if you haven’t read the million page books with hundreds of extraneous characters and pages, you will love what they have done with adapting this two television. Really really well done
