That sucks. I thought he did a good job finishing the story. Since you don’t have Robert Jordan the smart move would’ve been to heavily involved him. It makes me sad normies like it and even book readers twist themselves in knots trying to justify the show. Shadiversity has some good videos going over how the ignores source material.

I was honestly hoping the show would flop due to them not caring about the books

I have no doubt that the show will flop. With streaming shows they don't release the ratings. 55 critic score and 4.4 user score. A lot of the high user ratings are clearly fake/shill accounts. It really is not popular or successful.

To save money the whole show moved to the Czech Republic to get subsidies from the Czech government.

That’s good to know. A faithful adaptation would be huge. Game of Thrones followed the source material at the beginning although I blame Martin for his laziness
