I was a book reader years before the show started.

Show wise I highly enjoyed it the first season. Many scenes were literally page for page out of the book dialogue and everything was pretty focused. But with a story this large with this many characters and many different lands it was never going to be able to be done properly on a show.

So many things were altered, characters removed or combined, personalities changed, ages changed, entire elements and backstories gone. People always want to complain about the end and talk about how the other seasons were great but this show was off the rails years earlier. Basically around season 4 I think it falls apart in the show completely.

But I'm also very forgiving and early on I just completely disassociated the show from the books and just took it as some mindless entertainment. Overall I was fine with it, including the final season.

Ultimately I was just there to watch my two favorite characters talk shit. Tyrion and The Hound. They were better in the beginning but overall with what they were given I thought they brought the characters to life for me and enjoyed the portrayals.

I have no desire to ever rewatch it but when it was on? Sure it was a fun ride.
