I haven't seen all the shows. And I'm not a purist, the show script doesn't have to follow the books as scripts are creations of the show writers. I just enjoy seeing it come to life on screen. I enjoyed season 1 with all the faults and all. have mixed feelings about season 2 so far. I just want to hear what others' thoughts are on it.

This season is much better than the first. I have also changed my mindset when viewing it. When the first season was airing I kept noticing lots of inconsistencies with how the books are presented, and would get annoyed. This season I have approached it not as a direct adaptation, but as a show inspired by the books. This has made my viewing much more pleasurable, I find myself thinking "oh interesting, that's how they are depicting it!" A lot of depictions are absolutely not how I imagined it reading the books, but it is still fun to see someone else's interpretation of the material, and I am really enjoying the ride.
