They nailed the characters, the story beats, the villains, costumes, everything. I was skeptical after season 2 though I’m not a book purist, but they really know what they’re doing. Even constrained by the stupid 8 episode per season limit by Amazon.
And that episode this season is probably one of the best episodes of fantasy television.
I enjoyed it. But I also have low standards for slop and only half remember the books. I shotgunned them one July in the 2010s, so I don’t have the strong sentiment of a lot of folks that grew up reading them.
