After the first season gave me hope that this show would be different. The second and now the third season have convinced me that all these studios and writers don't know how to put other people their material on the big screen.

The first season had some nicer and more subtle changes which definitely didn't bother me personally, or at least not much.

Season 2 however was way off, and the changes from the books for me personally made no sense. It couldn't have been the budget, if anything the changes they might in some scenes would have probably made the season more expensive rather than less. The smaller changes made no sense, and looking at the bigger changes to the main storyline, that will suddenly make no sense anymore either with the rest of the books creating further problems in the future.

Season 3 builds on season 2's failure. Though at this point I see some tries to remedy some of the issues created, but other changes will create new problems for future episodes and seasons. They have started a forest fire that they can no longer control.

Season 1: 8/10 Season 2: 1/10 Season 3: 1/10

I know, the average would be 3 stars, but I am not. Coming back to change it later since I am pretty sure season 4 and 5 will be even worse. Be happy it isn't 1 star in general...
