[QUOTE="Tropical Wilds, post: 58069570, member: 250629"] I think the show is pretty close to the books and in order to be close to what the books are, the show would have to be really brutal. In the end, I'm glad it's filling the role of a true adult fantasy show, not a toned back, family friendly, watered down version of the original content. I get tired and bored of people sacraficing the impact of source material that is already very graphic in order to make it more mainstream, because that's what toning it all down does... It lessens the impact of the story. Wished "Walking Dead" was able to do the same thing, but in the end, they just couldn't because it's on AMC. But I get it, the choice was larger audience and bigger budget, or smaller audience and smaller budget with a shorter TV life when it goes on one of the exclusive channels. They didn't want to end up like "The Tudors," an expensive show that most didn't see until it got onto Netflix streaming that had to end, in spite of how well done it was and how popular it was on DVD, because the original broadcasts were not a draw.
