It was surprisingly a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Now I will admit I've never read the books, so the fact they changed things doesn't really bother me. I think it's worth checking out for sure. The only real negative, and it's not really a negative, but the crazy amount of diversity they put into this show was a bit distracting at times, I get they want to be inclusive and that's cool, but sometimes it didn't make sense, other than that though I enjoyed it.
