      Seconded. It was just such an enormous pile of shit from the first episode.

      Edit: felt like it was worth mentioning that I’ve read all the books multiple times, and love them. I just hate what they did to the characters.

        Maybe in the future.

        I’m kind of burned out in high fantasy TV for a while. Thanks for the info, though.

          Try something completely different.

          “Slow Horses” is about MI-5’s worst agents. Those who have screwed up in the field are sent to work on low priority garbage work until they retire or quit. Takes about one and a half episodes to hit its stride.

          “Landman” is about a Texas oilman whose job is to manage everything from the drilling to getting the product to market. Billy Bob Thornton is a great anti-hero; divorced, alcoholic, in debt, and smarter than everyone else for all the good it does him.
