The first two seasons had me rating this a 9. After having watched the third season and also realized that not only is the show writers rewriting the source material and making up their own story, but Henry Cavill is being replaced - and I'm lowering the rating to a 5. And that's generous. Henry Cavill has my respect, I know he quit because of the producers and writers taking off on an entirely different road than the books. And that's integrity, hat's off to him for that. But wow, did they ruin something that could have been so, so good... I wonder if they are the same geniuses that slaughtered House of the Dragon by replacing some actors and not giving even a hint of gray hair or the smallest wrinkle to the remaining ones.. Unbelievable.

There's just too much stupidity in filmmaking these days. So much great material is being ruined by "writers" thinking they can do better than the source material that got so popular (as a book for example) FOR A REASON. And on top of that we have the people who have no sense of art whatsoever, who are just pushing the buttons based on cheap trends and cash. Sad.
