You made it much farther than me. The TV show is truly a different story meant for a different audience. I know and like the books too much to be able to enjoy the TV series version. I had hoped that a series, unlike films, would allow keeping much closer to the source material. However, I get that many screen adaptations of books offer too tempting an opportunity for folks to add their own creative interpretations, etc. While I was disappointed that I didn't get the TV series I wished for, I do hope for the show's continued success.
