I'm really struggling to take this show as it is. I've read the books multiple times and can accept that things need to change for the screen, but some of the decisions the writers are making here are making are baffling.

Fundamental changes to the core systems of the world. Major character motivations and events.

I find myself asking, "What?" More then being sucked into the world. People are having things happen to them at such a breakneck place it's a little hard to comprehend.

We'll see if they can pull it together.

I'm in the same boat. It's as if they wanted to do original work but we're scared of going "alone" without the bankability of big-name IP. They changed too much; the names are the same, but it's not the story I recognize.

Same. I’m willing to give season two a shot but I’m not sure how far I’ll watch since they did in my boy Uno. That man is supposed to be at the last battle, not suck starting a golden rhino horn.
