Have you read the books? If you haven’t read them then the show is good.

If you’ve read the books think of it as a new turning of the wheel. The stories are similar but there are differences and those difference did piss off a few readers who watched the show.

I read the books and I liked it. But it’s definitely a different story.

As someone who has read the books extensively, I found the first watch kind of hard - certain changes from the books were really jarring and took me out of the story. I’ve found that on second and subsequent views, they are much more enjoyable. The actors are great, and the writing isn’t bad - some cringe moments here and there - but not bad for a first season.

I like this. This is going to be the cannon in my head.

The cannon in my head goes boom. I think you mean canon.

I basically agree with this.
