It's trash. The kind you watch because there are no decent shows out there anyway, and you had a stressful day so you stop giving a fk.

I'm not a stickler to the lore. I read the books, and still I wouldn't mind them changing things around; given that they made these new changes relatable ! All these 'progressive' casting devotions are disorienting and distracting. At least for the most part. Next is a big one: pacing. It was trash. I understand they're trying to make you feel like 'something is happening all the time so you can't look away' - but that is exactly what makes it cheap. Add to that the never ending rambling of pointless dialogue, and cheesy displays of intense emotions every other second, and you get a show that is cheap trash. The biggest issue with the story is not even in its detail accuracy, it's simply unrelatable. Non of it is. Show has poor acting in 85% of instances and a non existent score.
