honestly more people need to recognize how insanely good of an adaptation this is. maybe the best book to series adaptation there is.
The way this adaptation hit all the big lore and plot points but also made time for the tiniest details that spoke so much about the characters was honestly so great to see, the show creators obviously had so much understanding and respect for the original source material, which is so rare nowadays.
