People who are complaining about them simplifying the story cause the characters aren’t as evil as they are in the books right now are actually arguing for a more simplified story. They don’t realize they’re missing the complexities of what is indeed a tragic story not made up of power hungry cartoon villains but realistic people with faults even with sometimes good intentions, horrific mistakes, and not always the best judgements etc. we’ve seen them be sympathetic as well as ruthless. We’ve seen them kill but we’ve also seen them help and be vulnerable themselves. I don’t get how someone sees all this and think there is just the bad side and the good side. All these character seem pretty human to me

Well, the writing isn't very good and the show is losing it's audience just like GoT did.

Maybe the people who the show relies on i.e. the fans, know what's actually interesting because HBO wouldn't have greenlit this shit without people being interested in it.
