I absolutely agree, to me it's unwatchable. And I was sooo excited. When GoT was hot in the 1st 5 seasons I kept telling my family, coworkers, friends if they made a WoT show on HBO like they've done with GoT it would be amazing. I thought for sure Rafe is a "huge" fan, Sarah has read the books almost as much as me, of course it will honor the source material, along with RJ and since Amazon wants their own GoT it will follow the blueprint they laid out for success with its first 5 seasons. And maybe if it was made in 2017 that might've been true. Sadly once I heard about the changes and saw the previews I knew that wasn't their plan for WoT. They want to tell their own WoT story set in RJs world. Which clearly wasn't meant for me and those like me who wanted to see a faithful adoption of a series we grew up with and love. I'm glad some people enjoy it.
