Bumping this because I just started watching it. Read the books years ago and thought the show did an astonishingly bad job of covering the books.
The main plot points are there, but absolutely no nuance. Reading through this thread really confirmed that for me, as so many “plot holes” pointed out here were thoroughly explained in the books. I also was upset that they pulled from all 3 books in season 1. I thought the show would be far better off dedicating one season per book. Though I do understand how difficult that would be with timelines/characters in the books.
Hell, the first book didn’t have the alien reveal until almost 2/3 into it. The show just came out with that in like episode 3 lol. Also having everyone play three body was kinda dumb and unnecessary.
Just felt forced and rushed. Not that D&D have ever ruined a book series before though
Overall it’s entertaining, just not as good as I hoped

To be fair, GoT was THE talk of TV for 5 or 6 seasons. THEN they botched things up after getting out over their skis when George left them without a story.

And to the normie crowd, that's what matters. And I include myself in that group, having never read the source material.
