I'm sorry but what a disaster this has become. All the show runners had to do was a faithful adaptation of the books but they decided to diverge from them. Look at GoT, they faithfully adapted the books and the show was great. It only went sideways when they ran out of books. The Last of Us faithfully adapted a game and it was very well received. Hissrich only needed to adapt the books and with Henry they had a guaranteed hit, but she went and cocked it all up.

Netflix should finally wake up and listen to the people that love the source materials and all would be good. Instead they make up fan fictions , jam diversity down our throats and this is the result.
